Longhorn : Fake or not fake - Communauté Informatique NDFR.net

My thoughts on this whole Longhorn deal. I posted my full out opinion, so please post your full out opinion this time, but refrain from off-topic discussions. The following are my thoughts ONLY, and not those of IBElite.

1) It looks exactly like the upcoming, Windows XP MCE except with DesktopX slapped on and a few editions done to the UI.

2) To grab such a "nice and clean" looking shot of the DOS-based command line would be a miracle. Not to mention them calling it "Longhorn 2004" in the command setup and then in Windows, calling it "Longhorn 2003"

3) Far too advanced for it's time. Even XP wasn't looking this good in it's beta 1 stage, nevermind this apparent "alpha" release

4) The IE version number is totally off of what the normal coding style is for programmers at Microsoft. Normally, (unless final build), they have the entire lab number included, not just a .0 at the end.

Conclusion: I'll stick with my gut and say this is a "no-go" in terms of being the real deal.

Chance of Truth: 32%

Thanks to Stardock and DesktopX for these "evidence proving" screenshots.

Looks a lot like the so called "SideBar" feature http://skins.stardock.com/rtsbasic/ob/screenshot.jpg

The same can be said about this one http://skins.stardock.com/BigMac/screenshots/06.JPG

Basically, the rest was thought up from someone who was VERY original. My original post over on another news site was totally "go" for this being Longhorn, but after looking in to it some more, I realized that I made a mistake.

Of course, if i'm wrong, too damn bad

32% ce n'est vraiment pas bcp :)
