Longhorn?

#1 Post by DudeItsADell » Fri Aug 06, 2004 12:33 am

Does anyone know anything about Microsoft's new OS, codenamed "Longhorn." I searched around a found some things about it, but could find if it was coming out in 2005 or 2006. I was thinking about buying T42 in a month or two, but should I wait till Longhorn comes out? Please help!

If you need a new laptop now, buy it. You'll have to wait at least two years for Longhorn if not more. MS has even considered releasing "XP Reloaded" before Longhorn.

Longhorn is a year or two away. And do you really want to install anything from microsoft that hasn't been through at least 2 service pack bug fixes (sorry, "updates").
