Looking at Longhorn
ShinyPlasticBag writes "Paul Thurrott has an excellent preview of Longhorn milestone five over at his Supersite for Windows. It looks like this may be Microsoft's equivalent to OS X -- the next version of Windows will have a 3D accelerated desktop and other graphical goodies. In addition to this, it will include a journaling file system, so us mere mortals can enjoy what Linux Geeks have had for years."
I'm all for moderating down trolls but how is a FIRST POST freaking redundant? Stupid mods.
but its the FIRST first post! Its not one of the failed ones, its the real McCoy! Its not redundant!
More like making loads in butts, fag.
Actually, no. NTFS has been a journaling file system since the first implementation.
thinner and sexier. Sadly, they're also gobs too expensive for a mere mortal to afford (at least the ultra sexy powerbooks).

Mac OSX impresses me. Really does. All Mac OSs before then were craptacular. Have you ever tried to share files with other computers over appletalk? We had to do this on MacOS 9 in our English computer labs. Took 30 seconds to go through all the crap you had to go through just to log on, put your finished assignment in the drop box, and log out. That's not counting the time you'd spend waiting for the network. That wonderful Appletalk protocol. After class, I had to resist the urge to shout "I'M OVER HERE" every three seconds. I could have set my watch to the lag spikes, one every three seconds.
With windows 95, I just create a shortcut on the desktop that says "Teacher's folder" that points to my teacher's shared folder, and just copy it over. Worse case, I type in \\EnglishLab9Server\dropbox into IE and i'm there. Drag and drop in my paper, and i'm out of there.
Yes, windows sucks. But macs suck worse, except for OSX
My ex girlfriend used to call me Long Horn.
I have prior art.

Charging $300-400US for XP could only be B. Gates saying it may be over but I yet to win the fight. So a lot of us would do. I guess I am stunned by how many people characterize the phrase "you're doing it wrong". The Visual Basic Magazine I read, which arrived and I accepted (4) isuues, played out the registers of the pentium IV. Being that there are 256 registers for functions which include math and storage I would have concluded as well that Longhorn would store Context Information there and call it a resident process. Go Bill Go.
