Code name "Long Horn" with be split into four versions not two as was seen
with the Pro and Home editions of XP. From one description you will see Basic
and Premium editions in both the Pro and Home catagories. In the Home that
would most likely mean the premium would have more 3rd party goodies added
like XP saw cd writing added to Media Player.

Internet Explorer 7.0 beta is currently being run here with one complaint! If a
Windows Explorer window or other software browser even recycle bin is closed
with the X in the corner of the window and not the exit a second blank page
then opens with IE 7.0. You then have to close that as well. The icons seen
for browsing and going back and forth are much smaller then 6.0 forward and
backward buttons. Plus the send link and send page are now just send page.

7 versions, last I heard (http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase..._editions.asp), and nine if you count the N editions as being different.

So is LongHorn and Vista different? I heard, not sure which one, of the new Windows with the Office 2007 will require 2GB Ram just to operate.... is that Vista or LongHorn - if they are different.

Vista is the actual name of the OS, Longhorn was just a codename. So yes, there the same thing.

I dont think it would require 2GB of ram, but idk.

thats more realistic, and i would have to agree with it, 2Gb is just dumb, most PC's nowadays are onyl jsut getting to 2Gb, having that as a minumum req on vista would be dumb and for a lot of people render the OS complete unusable in an everyday environment.... (without sufficient/costly upgrades that is)

anyhoo, as much as the GUI looks sexy/smart/confident/pretty whatever you want to call it (to which i agree, it is nice[not too keen on the start button though]), i wil not be upgrading for a looong time yet.... aminly due to one thing....
