Longhorn = Windows Vista

[jaardsi]

I've got pretty high hopes for Vista, it seems like it's going to a more OS X-ish direction with all that fancy new desktop stuff.

IE7 might actually be an usable browser, there's the new Monad shell and the new filesystem is coming sometime too.

We can only hope this OS will unlock the raw power of human emotion on our computers!

YOU MEAN IF IT WILL BE DRIVEN BY THE HUMAN ENERGY!!!!

OSX-ish in bling, nowhere near OSX-ish in power, the truth is that Apple computers are not that powerfull, but the OSX can harness the power of the computer and it doesn't waste anything, plus the perfect memorycontrol Windows machines are lacking.

IE7 might be good, but as long as it doesn't support standards nor has tabbed browsing, it is just a prettier version of IE4, just like all IE versions since.

I have heard alot of good things about Monad, and I'm waiting it to be something really good, Chris Sells seems pretty excited about it.

They should just call it Windows ME2 : This time it's really crap.

Or possibly not, it might be really good, but the baggage of all this DRM/TCP/Palladium guff that surrounds it will drive people, even if the implications aren't as bad as some people have made out.

They should ahve gone the road of Streetfighter and called it Windows EX 2 :Alpha Pro Turbo Challenge Edition. Everyone would buy that.

Shit if I could play as Blanka and do a combo on that Start button I'd buy it twice.

I'm content with sticking with Windows XP. If its much better, I might consider getting it. But from the improvements they've pointed out so far, it doesn't sound too big.

That's what people said about Win 98/2000 when XP was coming.
