Microsoft Demands Removal Of Longhorn Images
bonch writes "After the previously reported release of the Longhorn beta at this year's WinHEC, Neowin and other Windows sites are reporting that Microsoft is going around sending legal letters demanding removal of Longhorn Build 5048 screenshots. Paul Thurrott discusses it on his site, stating that Microsoft never told anyone beforehand not to post screenshots of the publicly available beta, and links to the new galleries he has up now. 'Enjoy it while it lasts.'"
I don't fire up an OS to look at all the pretty colors, I fire up an OS to run applications.
You implication is that Macintosh user does not. We don't just boot up and stare at the screen like its a painting on wall. We actually run applications too (lots of them) and we get the pretty face on top of it.DORK!!!
it has smart folders that automatically look for documents matching parameters you specify,
I will be using that function in two days. Its called Spotlight. Let me know how works it for you on Longhorn in about 18 months from now. DORK!!!
People go nuts about a 0.1 incremental upgrade to the Mac OS, and are only too happy to pay $130 for it. Longhorn is a far more important and comprehensive upgrade than Tiger and all anyone can say about it is how much it sucks because it looks like Windows?
For one, Windows pro users pay $150-$200 for an uprgrade and $300 for a full version. Tiger DVD is $130 and that's the full version (this means you can throw the old CD). Home really isn't in the ballpark as Mac OSX but its $100 for upgrade and $200 for the full cd. Whether you called it 10.4 or 14, it pretty much the same thing- a major update. You would know this if actually visited Apple site before commenting. You major DORK!!!
Now, I don't why you bother commenting without any insight whatsoever. Use a Mac and compare it to Windows before you run your mouth. Moreover, who were the four dipshits that modded you insightful?! I seriously think Slashdot is being overrun.Don't bother replying. I not wasting another minute your ass by checking back. Just consider this an education
You don't have to be smart to use a Mac, you just have to be smart enough to buy one
MS is having trouble penetrating the asian markets so they are pandering. That was supposed to be the Engrish phrase "Shut Dow Mang!" but it is indeed cut off.
Sometimes at night I imagine the darkness is filled with horrible things with too many teeth, like Julia Roberts.
