I saw it and used it myself. It was not pretty. I thought it might improve after a few versions, but it's even uglier (if that's even possible). I got a headache just looking at the interface to take screenshots. I'm not kidding.
I thought about reviewing it, but I don't want to help them with my feedback until it's finished.
raptor:
since you used it, how are all the new features that(longhorn)claims to have?
or is it still XP? Microsoft said they were rebuilding from the ground up, and not basing Longhorn off of XP. So is it the same, have anythings improved at all?

No. It is Blackcomb they are remaking from scratch. Longhorn is based on NT, like XP. And there's not much improvement. Also, it takes 1.8 gigs and is VERY slow and clunky. The interface is huge and bulky, even on a 17" screen; it's almost unusable with a resolution lower than 1024x768.
Here are some of my comments on Longhorn:
