A Quick Look at Longhorn Build 4053

Posted by timothy on from the look-away-look-away-look-away dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Even though the next generation Windows product is not due until late 2005 or even 2006, here is a look at what Microsoft has in store for it's future operating system. 'Without a vast amount of tweaking, this build is a resource hog. At idle, with no applications running, the commit charge is at a whopping 483 MB!! Obviously, the final release or even the beta releases will not consume this much of the system resources.'"

    I took apart my usb web cam to remove the hotplate so it could see IR (and it did). But, while I was doing it with the USB still attached, if I would put my fingers in just the right spot on the exposed PCB, it would bluescreen and completely kill windows. A bluescreen button!

  4. Voltage by DMNT · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I bought a nice, new, large case with 3 fans and a 320 V power-supply.

    And I thought that too low voltage would cause system crashes. I wonder if you live in Europe (and have 230 Volt sockets) or in the US (with 110 V).
    Anyway that's not as hazardous as doing the opposite, overvoltaging your power supply.

    Long live the SI!
