i'm on windows longhorn

When is Longhorn supposed to come out?

As for Palladium, is the security feature going to be enabled in future hardware and software, or does it already exist on current systems?

I tried it, and it sucks.

Microsoft is doing a poor job in terms of innovation. All the "new" "features" are old features in Mac OS X and various *nix OSes.

Then again, it is still a very very early version and (hopefully) better things will be included and implemented in both the front-end and the back-end.


Disregard my previous post.

Whats the longhorn? Is it a new OS?

Longhorn is the next major Windows version

as far as innovation, it does suck ATM, but its at very early stage right now... don't judge it yet. one major problem right now with it is the picture and fax viewer. but it is sad to see ms implementing working and functional features that have existed in other OS's.

ROFLOL... And they will make a great special edition of Windows XP in 2006 called Windows XP ME-edition.

You didn't heard they are planning SP6 for WinXP? It has full DirectX 50.0 support and comes with a whole set of new security holes.

My dual-PSU PC is so powerfull that the neighbourhood dims when I turn it on

WinXP has been out for a long time now. It's fine. It never crashes and has lots of usefull features that actually work.

ME is a virus.

yea right scammy! do you think i am a gulla-bull? or even a gulla-calf? yeeaaaaaa right! as if we wouldnt notice! rofl

now that thats off my chest.. im glad they didnt release a 3d os, that would be stupid. 3d accelleration required for an os???? thats just retarded. it will happen sooner or later and can have advantages but 2d windows will suffice for quite some time. i remember seeing an exibition version of an internet explorer concept. it was like swimming through a web page, i thought i was going to puke lol.

my computer is so fast, it completes an endless loop in less than 4 seconds!

dood... oh man... i will give you win xp just to NOT hear that word: "me". seriously let me know

hey dh, you're pretty damn hot.... would you go out with me? you sexy hunk of love

Tell me how to crash it.

I've actually made it crash when an old program installed Quicktime 3.0 automatically, but that was easily solved by uninstalling the stupid softare.

And don't forget WinXP has a lot of problems running old games. Not that I play those often.

My dual-PSU PC is so powerfull that the neighbourhood dims when I turn it on

I've run 3dsmax doing a render + photoshop for editing my textures + kazaa lite + winamp + email + mozilla + seti + seti spy + trillian + a few other things on 512 MB, and yeah, it gets slow but nothing crashes.

Re-loading explorer doesn't mean XP crashed at all. It means a program that uses explorer crashed and froze up your explorer. XP killed the process and re-loaded it. If XP had crashed, the computer would not have been able to recover.

That right there is a HUGE difference between XP and ME. You can run buggy code and crash programs left right and centre on XP and you can keep on going. With ME, a crash of a program more often than not will crash the entire OS.

Some day I'll be rich and famous for inventing a device that allows you to stab people in the face over the internet.

thats not because of you ram... well it is but not much at all. its prolly more with your vid card and its drivers. i have run xp on many 256 meg comp and it was pc100 ram too, but it was fine. i have even ran it on 128mb comps, now that does fime too, but no for gaming and stuff.

You're not alone in this. The problem with XP is once it truly crashes, or when it does, often they are fatal crashes. The problem as well is that it is so user-friendly, it covers key functions that could help you out of a situation. Without DOS or anything, it simply is not easy to recover once you no longer can boot into WinXP.
I had 2 formats in 2 weeks due to bootup problems.
I truly fear the next time WinXP does that. Problem is, it is trustable in that it is stable in general usage, but it is by far the most sensitive OS to small bad code. A small one, whether it's an old DOS game or an old driver, can screw the whole temporal lobe that is WinXP, and you no longer can boot at all. It is however a new hybrid OS, and I hope with Longhorn, Microsoft has tweaked the OS far more in stability. I can locate plenty of bugs as well.
Such include that when you shut down, sometimes it takes so long at the Saving Settings or such when you know it could simply close all programs no matter what, or the bug when you shut down too quickly after closing some program, sometimes the OS will not display LOGGING OFF, will just show the big blue-purple logon screen, but no message that says in which phase of shutting down has it reached. It hangs from there.
An annoying one as well is when it just doesn't know what to do. You expect usually a program to open at the same speed if all the rest has not been touched, but sometimes, re-opening it will take a small delay hit for no reason, like IE6 opening, or OE6.
I don't get why it does it on purpose to bloat itself as if XP had a pipeline, and it flushed it at the moment I request a program load, so I have to wait till it fills back.

Still, if you asked me if I'd go back to any Win9x OS, I'd say hell no, WinXP by far is the best. Beats Win2000 IMO when it comes to home use and ease of configuration.
