What's to keep them from delaying sth AGAIN?

-Q

Slash

This came from Netz.Ru forums...

Dunno, but there is a rumor that RC0 is already released, but it's kept in high secret. Smells like bullshit, but who knows?

wingzeroismine

RC0??? I thought they started at 1... I would expect MS to release a real beta sometime soon, march seems like a nice date, though they probably will push it back. Does anyone know if anything higher then 4074 (PDC) is real?

Josh

408x for 64-bit is real.

Q

I have yet to run it ::( I need VMware 5...

-Q

FatTurtle

wait...there's a new version of vmware out?

Josh

Why don't you people use VPC?

Bash

Some people just like VMWare's interface, i like VMWare because the virtual machines are a little... expandable, you can have a few cdroms mounted, floppy drives, and so on...

Richard Hawsley

I would love to try 4083 but dont yet have a 64 bit machine/processor. For anyone thats tried it does it still use the slate theme and the weird leaf background.

Richard

Slash

I think someone said that 4083 is a fake.

I thought it was Windows Fucked Them...

noone

Windows FuckThis: a threat to hackers and crackers who want to fuck with windows
also a warning to pirates with thier bullshit DRM scheme they are planning to include.

Slash

I've heard it will be Windows 2006

FatTurtle

How about Windows XXP (eXtra eXPerierenced)

Thump

Here's a guess answer that I think will be correct:
chigowolf asked:
"hmmm is longhorn going to be call winfx when is released?"
No.
*************
"I've heard it will be Windows 2006"
No.
I'm going out on a limb here so remind me later if I'm wrong.

Q

"eXtended ePenis" ?

PS. That is the most annoying phrase, I can't beleive I just used it.

Slash

I think it will have nothing common with XP because it will use a very different 6.0 kernel..

i doubt it...

Look at windows XP and windows 95... (not the best choice, but shows MS never drops every idea) the start menu concept, in windows xp it is improved, windows xp also has the control panel, and taskbar, and my computer, and alot of stuff... NOw look at Windows XP and 2000, almost the same, but XP is improved with a improved GUI, start menu, and other things...

nightice

XP has an improved gui and start menu? LOL

Bash

in a way......

well, the all programs menu thing is sorta convient, has my frequently used programs on the left...

and the GUI... well to some people it is better...
not me that is....

OMG new start menu takes a quarter of screen at 1024x768
