More Looks At Far-Off 'Longhorn'

Posted by timothy on from the a-gnome-in-the-hand dept.

b17bmbr writes "According to eWeek, the first builds are out, with an SDK. The Register notes: 'Microsoft builds leak regularly, Microsoft knows this, and Microsoft knows that the wider the distribution of the software, the faster it's going to spread all over the internet...The timing is impressive for an alpha build of a product that is not scheduled to hit the streets for another two years, and which could quite easily stretch to three.' Methinks this is just vaporware." And Cleverone writes "Several days before PDC 03' attendees will obtain their copy, screenshots of the new build have already made their way to the net. For those inquisitive few, the build stamp is 6.0.4051.0."

    Don't be ridiculous. Everyone knows he was in the other window of the book depository.

    "Windows" is a code.

    It's a good thing that conspiritors always leave blatent codes like this lying about, otherwise we'd have to rely on those meddling kids to flush them out.

    And their little dog too.
