I've got windows longhorn :)

so? whats the point in useless spam like this, i had windows longhorn over a year ago woopdedo!, please get the **** lost baby, no1 cares unless you have something besides **** 2 say, and you dont have windows longhorn, you have an extremely buggy and unfinished beta version of windows longhorn (most likely 4051 or 4053 as they are both fully cracked) oh and most programs and applications dont work with the current beta versions of windows longhorn so theres not much point in actually having it yet, besides telling people "I've got windows longhorn" several years b4 it comes out, and if that makes your day then thats fine just dont spam it here, and next time you say you have it, it usally helps to tell people what version it is etc, makes you sound slightly less moronic.

oh and windows longhorn is very old news, bet you didnt even know abt windows blackcomb, oh and i have that, shame its completely ****ed up but its not due out till 2008 so thats expected :)

:rofl: The final one launches in 2006. Give us a screenie of Longhorn then.

he probally cant give you screenshots, its not that i dont doubt he has longhorn its just that hes prolly not smart enough to install it and get the beta version working :P

i can give you links for working windows longhorn versions 4051 and 4053 (most recent cracked and working beta versions), but i doubt anyone actually uses it as their main OS for day to day use as atm most programs dont work on it and as this is a 2 year + early release there are tons of bugs in it still :)

Lots of screenshots of build 4051 and a few of 4053:
