About Longhorn (Beta)!
Well this new baby is not that bad, but the problem is that its too slow ... even though Microsoft doesnt release the System requirements, atleast 512MB of RAM, and 1 Ghz of processor will be needed, I use 384(256+128) Mb of RAM and still very slow, and there are too many services running in background which ordinary user might not need, and the search system is not that good, but the picture view style is nice! And I was surprised to see that the explorer itself uses 58 Mb of RAM!!! that was too much .. and theres also a some problem with the sidebar... when u run some program and minimize in tray, and then then terminate the programs but the trace is still in the side bar ...and i hope microsoft will deal with this .. well u can say more about this new baby!

But that is why its still in its Beta stage with the drawbacks.
These matters would be solved when the retail version is out.
MIn req could be 256MB ram n some GHZ cpu.
Dont think it would be 512MB ram.

Sorry to dissapoint u guys LongHorn is still in "ALPHA" stage...
Beta stage is when u debug a software....
LongHorn is still in Alpha stage, That is, its still havent implemented all the intended features...
Having tested Longhorn myself i cann tell u guys that final version will be quite comfy with 256MB ram....
Well right now LongHorn requires 512MB Ram as there is a memory leak in Explorer which makes LongHorn occupy 150MB of RAM.....
--curvenger what build are u using? Im using build 4074 Released in May 2004
WinFS is still not implemented in the Alpha release (@least i didnt get an option to install WinFS). Moreover the current Desktop will be scrapped as the new Desktop will use "Avlon" presentation engine, which as far as i know willl be similar to Apple's "Quartz Extreme" of their MacOS X...
Also Longhorn will be out with DirectX 10, LongHorn alpha Still uses DX 9.0b.

The alpha explorer consumes 150 MB ram.
Thats quite a major flaw.

yaaa curvenger please reply satan_rulez.....how did you explorer a flaw in your internet service provider to actually make him allocate you more bandwith....!!!!!
Is that possible...?
Anyway longhorn is freely available on baazee.com , Delhi and mumbai...so one doesnt really need to go the (bit) torrent way ......
