I just read tha the new OS would be released somewhere between year 2005 and 2006, but specs would be published between 4-7 may in seattle. "WinHEC (Windows Hardware Engineering Conference)"
That would hopefully be enough time to make working drivers to fit the old system.

i used one of the leaked builds for awhile, it ran ok once i tidyed it up, but still similar to xp.

a new windows will come out between now and longhorn, confirmed by MS

And no longhorn is coming out after xp nothing else and remember its just codenames and blackcomb is coming out after that but that 7 to 8 years in the making yes the a leak for it did rls but its nothing special...

Finaly, Longhorn? Who in the world came up with that name?

When the developers at MS gets tired of work (Like we all do), they go to a ski resort on the montain Whister. Whister was the codename for Windows XP. Also, there is a salon on the foot of Whistler called Longhorn! Blackcomb is another montain right next to Longhorn.

Actually, there will be an different OS released before LongHorn.  It is actually just and update to XP, and no, we aren't talking about SP2.  I can't remember the name of it, or the features its supposed to have, but it is being released.

longhorn is gonna blow if ms does every thing they want to to it...

first, they want you pay monthly for your os
second, they want to install "digital rights managment" (spyware) low level into the os
third, they want to make it so games boot from rom, instead of installing

oh yes, these are things they are just pondering, even so, i'm switching to linux if even one of these happen (except maybe the third)

[Raver758]

dude its Longhron why would they make a whole new os when one's coming out 2006 2 years. There not going to spend millions just to make a os for 1 year.. Why is it only longhorn rlsed no other os? Even blackcomb beta rlsed a very bad beta but it rlsed and that OS is after longhorn...

[baturkin17]

its xp reloaded.

i read it in MaximumPC.


article in mag.....

"
Windows XP Reloaded

Does MS plan to release a new XP-based OS before Longhorn?

Like a nervous sweetheart confronted by a tenacios suitor, MS has apparenly gone from "no" to "maybe" to "yes" with regards to an interim release of windows xp before the debut of longhorn in 2006. A number of sources claim that MS insiders have conformed the preperation of an operating system update code-named xp-reloaded. on the record, however, MS is still meing coy with the details, including wether or not it will charge users for the update.

Agreed. Hell will freeze over before I pay a monthly fee to use an MS product

[duudfromnorway]

this month or next they will release windows xp service pack2 (sp2).
And will be the last sp ever, with fixed securety issues. After that there`s supposed to be a windows xp "reloaded" (go figures ).
also called shorthorn

From the news.com.com.com.com.com article:

"While Longhorn's promise of an overhauled user interface and database/file system blend will undoubtedly set the bar for desktops when it's ultimately released, the longer it's delayed the more time Linux has to get a foothold in the desktop market."

Overhauled user interface?  WTF?!  I am sick of Micr0soft thinking what would really improve my productivity is changing user interface around again.  XP already has enough shit in it that annoys me that I had to turn off.  Longhorn better have a "classic" skin like XP does or I am gonna be supremely pissed.

I know it probably won't work on your computer.  That's all you need to know, Gateway boy.

i read it in the same place as baturkin17... xp reloaded is confirmed to come out between winxp and longhorn... my guess is reloaded will be an upgrade for the more powerful pc's and will include 64bit support and directx10.
