As far as I can tell it is not possible. Would you be so kind as to point to an information source explaining how to do this?
There is no mount command.
Here's how I do it in XP...
1. Right-click My Computer. 2. Select "Manage". 3. In the Computer Manager, select "Local Disk Manager". 4. Right-click a drive. 5. Select "Change drive designations" (something similar, translating from swedish...) 6. Click "Add..." 7. Select "Mount this device in the following empty NTFS folder". 8. Voila;-)
I don't remember how you most easily got to the Computer Manager in 2000 (I doubt you can right-clik and select "Manage"). There's a command line for it though...:-/
And where's the so-talked new starwars-like filesystem [osnews.com] that was to appear on the new windows version
It's in there and the WinFS stuff currently seem to come from a service running in the background that's known to just consume CPU cycles.:) At least to a normal user not working in the Longhorn development team. I guess you'll have to wait at least until the beta to see a major feature such a new, functional file system.
Hmm... I think Longhorn is very much "alive", but there will be no server version of Longhorn when it's released. Instead, what was previously "Blackcomb" will be the successor to Windows.NET Server that's about to be released pretty soon now.
So, in short Longhorn = next generation client, Blackcomb = next generation server.:-)
Yes, remarkably like that funny concept of `mount points`?
Maybe Microsoft is replacing UNIX by BECOMING UNIX?
Virtual desktops, mount points - what next,/bin/sh?
Even Windows 2000 support mount points. Not sure if even earlier Windows NT-based OS'es do since I haven't checked. Anyway, you can easily mount your CD-ROM to a cdrom directory if that's what you wish.
Remember this is an alpha of Windows. As someone on Microsoft said -- "we had six different visual styles of XP before the final". Whatever Longhorn looks and functions like now, it will likely not look like that in the final release. Just like the early alphas of Whistler.
This alpha contains very few improvements over XP, and the stability and optimizations are horrible. Yes, even for being Microsoft, if someone would like to pull off a bad joke about that. For example. the new WinFS file system runs in Longhorn as a service that consume a lot of CPU power while not offering any special WinFS.
Yeah, but Windows is designed to allow a mnimimalist desktop for those who wish so. I can make XP look like Windows 2000 anytime by selecting the Windows Classic theme (which actually disables part of the theme system of XP so it consume less memory). You can disable menu/window/combobox/listbox/whatever animations, set menu open delays to zero milliseconds and a whole lot more.
And in XP there are even Visual Styles you can download to get an even more minimalistic desktop than the one you find in Windows 2000.
Granted, for each new release of Windows there are usually more settings to turn off, but most of the time, the new features in new releases of Windows can be turned off. I have yet to see a visual features of Windows that can't, actually.
Hehe.. Yeah, I guess I wasn't clear about what I meant with that post. What I meant with "I'm not sure Microsoft should get credit" is that I don't think the end result of C# would be what it became if Microsoft hadn't got their hands on one of the greatest language designers there are today. But I admit I should have said something more along the lines of "out of the C# design team, I think a lot of C#'s power depended on Hejlsberg's ability to give C/C++ developers a RAD language that is much more powerful than anything Microsoft has brought us before".
Very robust and well thought out language. Yes, Yes, I know blah blah blah M$ this and M$ that. But ya know what? I could give a flying crap about everyone's predisposition against Microsoft.
I'm not sure Microsoft should be thanked for the greatness of the C# language on it's own, which I'm sure most of us agree is the best thing of.NET -- not it's Windows-specific libraries.
Thank Anders Hejlsberg, chief architect of the C# language, instead.
I don't mean to be picky, but I think one should make sure the term ".NET" (which usually mean the entire platform) isn't mixed with the ECMA standardized C# language, which might be what you meant since you later said "... wish it was open like C, C++ or C#".
I usually try to avoid this confusion by never using simply ".NET", since no one can really explain what it is due to how huge it is, just like the Matrix.:-)
Instead of.NET, I use something like ".NET Framework" if that was what I meant.
"I got shuttled down to New York, and I got VIP seating, and I was like, "Wow, I'm at the Oscars or something," but then I was like, "No, I'm at Macworld.""
"I also got a call from the Farrelly Brothers. They were like, "You know we really like your ad," so they wrote down my name or something."
"Supposedly, though, my agent is "floating my image," quote unquote. I don't know what the hell that means."
I was unfortunate enough to hear about the "sybian" (www.sybian.com -- don't watch if your boss is behind you or you'll find yourself in a funny situation) before the Symbian OS. So you can guess what I think of every time I hear about "Symbian"...
Apparently, others has had the same thoughts as me and the comments from Psion is amusing.;-)

Btw, not sure if you can mount shares with this method. Perhaps if you first map it to a drive letter and then mount the mapped drive to a folder.
As far as I can tell it is not possible. Would you be so kind as to point to an information source explaining how to do this?

If these are real, then I've gotta say, except for the brushed aluminum look, it looks exactly like XP.
It would surprise me if it wouldn't, since it's only an alpha yet.

Because an ISO of the alpha has been leaked as well and a spokeswoman of Microsoft has commented the issue.

While I'm on the topic...
Anders Hejlsberg interviewed about C# #1
Anders Hejlsberg interviewed about C# #2
Pretty interesting, where he discuss the design goals of C#, how satisfied he is with what C# became, etc.

Those are Cisco syslog messages. No linux easter eggs.

Of course, but surely they must have had *some* Linux box there that noticed strange things going on in the printer room.
I wonder if they got the Linux "easter egg" error message "Printer on fire"? I guess it would be appropriate for once.
