If ppl hate Ms thats because their products are highly prices. And an alternative ??? look for linux in next couple of years. BTW did you pay for your os. Start another poll for "DID YOU PAY FOR YOUR OS" :wink:

I use WinXP Pro. The best part of XP is that it includes the drivers for most hardware stuff....also, u don't have to restart the comp after every software installation for most softwares.....

I have windows longhorn alpha 4051 ,it still has a long way to go..will be released in 2006-2008. Well as MS has said if they fullfill 60% of their list i will be more than happy.

They are betting on the fact that the processing specs are going to triple till the release comes up , there will be entry level 1 gbs of RAM in every PC...etc

major upgrade with a new security architecture called Palladium, a hardware 3D-enabled user interface, a brand-new, database-backed storage engine, and many more exciting new features

This new user interface, or "user experience," is code-named "Aero" and is based on a new .NET-based graphics API called "Avalon," which replaces earlier graphics APIs such as GDI and GDI+.

The Longhorn Start Menu and task bar will be enhanced with a new Sidebar component that can optionally appear locked to one side of the desktop. The Sidebar is an XML-based panel that includes links to local and remote resources.

Longhorn will require 3D video hardware to render special effects that will make the screen more photorealistic and deep

Microsoft has even pledged to retain DOS compatibility with Longhorn.

Now who said MS sucks?? even though i won't want to use it as my main desktop coz i hav the alpha build and just to make one change i have to go through 5-6 sub-menus and the sidebar just is stuck! hogging everything...

thought most applications have been working correctly. eg winamp,my fav game Half life
