Why Linux is King and will soon Rule
voidmain:
Of course it's going to be faster because you're going to have to buy a new computer before you'll even be able to run it. Run a copy of Win98 on that Intel 4.8GHz and see how fast it runs.
And about those stupid "My Music" folders and the like. They should be labeled "M$ Music" because with Microsoft OSs, you don't own crap. I have a "My Operating System" folder on my system, something Microsoft will never have.

The main difference from seeing screenshots is the looks. I'm sure Longhorn will be more stable and faster than XP which is already fast and stable..plus I'm sure Longhorn will have a much larger built-in driver database(for those who don't like installing drivers).
Example of difference in looks.
XP's My Music Folder(taken from my system)

Longhorn's My Music Folder

See how much better it looks, also notice how the side bar(for easy access to common tasks) is colorful and seemlesly blends in with the rest of the Window. It just looks nicer. The Display Properties looks alot nicer than the display properties in XP(and other older versions of Windows). The My Pictures folder looks better and so does the rest of the stuff in Longhorn so far.
When Longhorn goes gold I bet it will look completely different than it does now in the Alpha stage. It will probably look really kick ass when it is final.

I'm sure Longhorn will force you to play by the MPAA/RIAA's rules to. That IS why its being made isn't it? I don't really care how Longhorn looks, LINUX can be set to look however you want it to. You can completely control how the desktop looks. And no, longhorn will not be more stable than XP, M$'s goal with this is not to bring you a better computing experience, its only to control you more, even at the expense of what could be a better running system. M$ realized that they don't need to make their OS any more stable. All they have to do is say that its more stable and advertize it to death and many people

lol.....look how different the "My Music" folder looks. That tells you everything about an OS.....lol. Give me a break. Longhorn isnt due out for a few years and you think linux folks will be sitting still that whole time? If you havent noticed, new versions of linux distros come out all the time, with constant improvements on security, ease of use, and graphical user interface. KDE already has transparent menus and rounded windows, and so much more. Just remember that even if microsoft does come out with something in the gui that is really cool, nothing will stop us from copying it, and then giving it away for free......lol

wow. i can hardly wait for that my music folder. (lie mode off)
? who cares about how some folder looks? 'My Music'? why not call it /home/zombie9920/mp3s/ ? OH YES! i forgot, you'll not be able to play mp3s with the next release of windows... oh well, that'll save you a bit of hard drive space.
also, i took a look at the new 'My Music folder, and apparently it looks like this:

i must say i'm really impressed with how it looks...
preacher:
Someone please explain to me why XP has Windows Media Player integrated into a folder. Give me a fucking break. The folder probably has IE integrated into it as well. Oh and dont forget that solitare is now an integral part of the OS and can not be removed.
