So as a non-windows user, what's the fuss about the new Windows OS??? Anything interesting to see?Originally Posted by directhex
I think M$ could do far worse than adopting a *nix type system ala Mac OS...
But that's just my opinion..
nothing really special with longhorn anymore..Avalon [the 3d gui] was its best feature by far imho, a big step forward for windows. May have been buggy in the 2 alpha builds that had it, but it did look amazing [best bit was task switching]
longhorn looks like it mite be another windows me ;/
MS are going to release Avalon and Indigo to WinXP users before longhorn comes out. Its probably going to be a service pack 3. After longhorn has come out MS will release the technologies missing and distribute them via a service pack. Im not to sure if this will include the WinFS file system. If that was the case people would need to do a clean install of windows to take advantage of it.
Yeah - they had some great ideas although they've mostly been pulled now.
WindowsXP SE we should see quite soon![]()

whats the advantage of winfs? over ntfs? is it just so they can have one more patent? or is there any technical advantage to it...?
I think it provides more organised indexing of file types so that they can be searched for easier and quicker.
searched as in using the windows search tool, or reducing time it takes to physically find the file on disk becuase it is organised in a better way?
The first, I dont want. I now where my files are, and id prefer the search tool of windows 9x thanthe crappy 2k/xp one.
