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.

Specifications are for the weak and timid!
You question the worthiness of my code? I should kill you where you stand!
Indentation?! - I will show you how to indent when I indent your skull!
What is this talk of 'release'? Klingons do not make software 'releases'. Our software 'escapes' leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality assurance people in its wake.
Klingon function calls do not have 'parameters' - they have 'arguments' - and they ALWAYS WIN THEM.
Debugging? Klingons do not debug. Our software does not coddle the weak.
A TRUE Klingon Warrior does not comment on his code!
Klingon software does NOT have BUGS. It has FEATURES, and those features are too sophisticated for a Romulan pig like you to understand.
You cannot truly appreciate Dilbert unless you've read it in the original Klingon.
Our users will know fear and cower before our software! Ship it! Ship it and let them flee like the dogs they are!

Is it just me or does the name sound like swedish or kinda Viking-ish.  I know a Long Horn is a northamerican breed uh cattle, but with all the out there names that linux distros have. I wonder If Windows is trying to encroch on our fledging society .  Appeal with a more opensource-y kinda name.

My god the frikn words I use  :D

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.

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.

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.
