Longhorn Preview
prostoalex writes "News.com has up a preview of Microsoft's current build of Longhorn operating system, from Jim Allchin, Microsoft group vice president. The timing is not coincidental with Apple's Tiger release, as Allchin pointed out some advantages that Microsoft had over Apple's OS: 'High on the list of features are security enhancements, improved desktop searching and organizing, and better methods for laptops to roam from one network to another.'"

If he'd just burn up 80% of his fortune already our dollar might gain some value for when I go to Europe again so I can actually afford things.

By that token, Star Wars was a big Windows commercial.
It's just disgusting that the parent was modded down as a troll for expressing their views, telling a personal story, and explaining why they liked XP more. That kind of stuff shouldn't get modded down just because you think you know better than the person him/herself. Reserve troll mods for goatse.
