Longhorn
 

Okay im in a bit of a pickle here

I have access to a copy of longhorn

My mom (m$ drone) is of course not happy about this I REAlly want to install LH NO MORE win32!

But she seems to think since this isnt a public dl thats supposed to be out

Its out on IRC and some download locations


my question is

IS IT LEGAL to have it in my possession?
If it isnt my mom can get fired......goodbye london

Do what I do, hit your computer with a sledge hammer

is there anyway to block this guest's ip?

he keeps changing it. Before that, I was able to script-in a block of his hostname. But, he no longer has a hostname. He might be going through a proxy or something

hes logging in from librarys or schools many computer i reckon...now then an answer?

No proxies
 

Say bro did you hit your computer with a sledge hammer?

I am not sure but I think I may go to your school.

okay guys i think i know who it is..........

ill ask him and watch his comp

I disabled guest posting, at least for the time being

i think i know who it is............mitchell a "friend" of mine hes not in class today ill ask him next time

thank you thank you!!

later

I know that the Longhorn BETA is out, but I wouldn't install it for now until the final version is out.

speaking of betas.. i have the lords of everquest beta and it's pretty good. It's always nice when you have a chick as the narrator.

Hehe, good one jason. I agree.

I'm sure you meant ALPHA. ;)
Longhorn won't probably reach the Beta stage before 2005.
FYI, the latest Longhorn Alpha Build that has been leaked is 4053, which is quite stable and looks very promising, I can tell :nod:

doesn't longhorn have that "trusted computing"crap in it?

I hope not.

same here.. but i thought i heard that all over the place.. it's either longhorn or the OS after it

im gonna "open my mouth and remove all doubts" here - longhorn runs 32 bit apps too right?

yeah - i just checked Mirc and edonkey - its easier to find than everyones favorite song - with crack smaller than i expected though

whats trusted computing?

kinda like my avatar.. :/

Basically they are using politicians to legalize monopolistic practices in the industry under the facade that its purpose is to protect copyrights, etc.

basically meaning i'm staying with xp until there is a way to get rid of (or through) that stuff in longhorn

Ya- you'd be the first one in jail in our area for piracy ;) .... You'd be locked in the jail in the police station accross from my house.. how convenient!!

Hey you could visit each other!

i don't go to jail.. i'm a good boy! at least that's what my mom says :P

A good boy planning on using Longhorn illegally!

hey.. i didn't say I was planning on using it at all.. unless .. well.. it is determined safe by my commitee of advisers (me..)

and was it? cuz if a "governing commitee says its ok.... "

Jason if you want i can get you a legit copy of longhorn for 10$
id hate my favorite nemesis in jail :)

wouldn't we all... :biggrin:
