All Things Microsoft > Microsoft Software
Longhorn. Whats your opinion?
lazygamer:
Those Microsoft dudes come to BC and steal our marijuanna. But due to their lower position on the evolutionary scale, the marijuanna does not make them better programmers and software designers.
The MS morons congregate at Whistler, a ski hill(world famous?) that I've never visited. There happens to be a bar there called "Longhorn" or something.
That is the story of MS Longhorn's name.
Refalm:
Blackcomb is a ski resort at the Whistler mountains. I think I might go there and shoot anyone wearing Microsoft clothes.

No. Horned viking helmets are a myth.

Now I just feel like a dork.
I honestly doubt that the name longhorn will last until its release anyway.

Well, I've seen some very interesting ideas about the changes in longhorn. According to the magazine I read it in...
VIRTUALLY NONE!!!
And so far as I know, yes, it can only run programs designed specifically for it, because they ported the kernel to native 64-bit.

Actually you could say the same thing about XP up from windows2000. The changes were all cosmetic, the innards all the same. The only really big change in XP was product activation, and I don't really see people jumping around celebrating about that. And about the only real change with Longhorn is going to be the integration with 'the tech formerly known as TCPA'. And I don't think thats going to generate any smiles either.
