New Longhorn Screenshots And Schedule
Mozillabird writes "WinSupersite has recently updated the Longhorn release schedule and has provided some new screenshots of Aero. The first beta of Longhorn is May 2005, though there is some speculation about how much of Avalon and Aero will be implemented in that beta. The "big beta" is scheduled for this Fall."
The Longhorn Explorer features a left-most pane of Lists and AutoLists, a breadcrumb navigation bar, instant filtering with an integrated Search box, and quick file preview at the bottom of the 20721 window.

Fast Search results let you sort by custom 20721 metadata ("Reference" in this example).

Release the damn thing or don't release it. I don't care. I'll just keep using Win98SE. It sucks too, but at least it works.

Where can I apply if I want to join you in astroturfing for Appel? Do they shell out good money?
Or are they, for all what is known about Appel, only interested in fucking fags like you?
Why not just call it a gamma release? Or do they not know that the greek alphabet has more than two letters? Hell, they might as well make a release of Longhorn for all 24 greek letters, seeing as it doesn't seem like they plan on finishing the O/S anytime soon.

Moneyed corporations, non-working 'poor' and criminal prisoners are turning productive citizens into tax-slaves.
Stop sucking Steve Jobs' cock, Apple zealot.
If you paid more attention instead of just shooting your mouth off, you'd have noticed that Microsoft came up with the searching idea first and Apple stole it off them.
Don't you remember the ads they put up about it last year? Apple are in it to make money, and they'll do that by whatever slimy tricks they can think of.

XP Pro is hilarious. It forbade me from downloading the GIMP windows version, as well as a diagnostic tool recommended by a fellow Slashdotter. Why? Because they are open source apps. I realised there is a thin yellow strip at the top of the browser (I just installed XP the other day, so I'm still learning) that I have to click on to override the default security and actually download what I want.
I assume Longhorn will continue this prejudice against open source development.

Wow, Christian bashing is becoming so popular that it gets modded up as insightful on Slashdot! It doesn't seem like you have any knowledge of modern Christian teachings, and it shows especially poor taste to post this on the day before Easter.
I don't want to start a holy war here, but what is the deal with you Mac fanatics? I've been sitting here at my freelance gig in front of a Mac (a G5 Dual 2.5Ghz Machine w/ 1 GIG of RAM) for about 20 minutes now while it attempts to copy a 17 Meg file from one folder on the hard drive to another folder. 20 minutes. At home, on my Pentium Pro 200 running NT 4, which by all standards should be a lot slower than this Mac, the same operation would take about 2 minutes. If that.
In addition, during this file transfer, Safari will not work. And everything else has ground to a halt. Even SimpleText is straining to keep up as I type this.
I won't bore you with the laundry list of other problems that I've encountered while working on various Macs, but suffice it to say there have been many, not the least of which is I've never seen a Mac that has run faster than its Wintel counterpart, despite the Macs' faster chip architecture. My 486/66 with 8 megs of ram runs faster than this 2.5 Ghz Dual machine at times. From a productivity standpoint, I don't get how people can claim that the Macintosh is a superior machine
Mac addicts, flame me if you'd like, but I'd rather hear some intelligent reasons why anyone would choose to use a Mac over other faster, cheaper, more stable systems.
Yeah, but you're a mac user. You're too fucking stupid to use the right mouse button.
