asus Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 any body know how i can get ahold of a beta for longhorn? i wanna see what all the talk is about i have it.. and yes it is legal.. my friend has a sister that works for Microsoft and he gets all the beta stuff.. i get alot of MS stuff before it comes out.. and let me tell you... and bigred with agree, that longhorn is a ways away from being finished.. if you want the look and feal of it.. go get some windows binds.. but personally i dont like longhorn.. and unless they change the GUI.. i wont bother to use it.. AS THEY also scraped the new file system.. so... shame on microsoft.. i see mac os X in my future.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 you can't legally. Yes you can legally if you have a MSDN subscription. I have betas that Microsoft mailed to me themselves. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

silkster Posted October 25, 2004 Posted October 25, 2004 na.. XP is here to stay for AWHILE! (Just like Win98SE) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigred Posted October 25, 2004 Posted October 25, 2004 winFS is NOT going away. and no MS employees are not to be handing out the beta's that is against the same laws that prevent MSDN and beta testers from giving it out. as far as it being done... stupid smack tards don't need to finish the gui... they need to finalize it! it's been changed so many times lord only knows what the final product is gonna look like. I've seen 11 different versions of it, and out of those 11 versions, it had 8 different gui's Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
O(V)eGA_l2el) Posted October 25, 2004 Posted October 25, 2004 I wonder if Longhorn will live up to the "hype." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamikaze_Badger Posted October 25, 2004 Posted October 25, 2004 (edited) Hmmmm... Beta & Microsoft in the same sentence... Why does this make me feel that the product will be 100% stable?

andrusk Posted October 25, 2004 Posted October 25, 2004 not stable. Dont even bother using it unless you just want to see what it looks like. Its a waste of time until the OS gets a lot closer to release date. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
