my build is 4047 (i think), not as new as jiffymans. Where did you get yours from jiffyman.

Unless you want a quick ticket to the land of the banned, you should read the forum rules.
 
Good idea, XP media centre is good enough now, imagine what longhorn version will be like. Pretty damn impressive if i do say so myself.

They have versions of it out, if your a member of MSDN then you can download it for free. But i have the BETA version of it, i dont really like it, some parts are cool, then again, some parts remind me of apple. lol

Why would they get banned? If there a member of Microsoft's MSDN.com service, then they can download it and try it out LEGALLY.
 
Thats what i said, i apologised and said it wouldnt happen again but how is PRAETOR to know where i got my copy from, it came from a member of my family who is part of the MSDN network....... It isnt pirated or illegal, it is a full BETA version, released by microsoft.
 
it's just an assumption made because nearly everyone who comes here asking about longhorn got it via fileshares, not to mention if you have to ask where it was gotten from thats a bad sign
 
I wasnt asking where it was gotten from i was asking jiffyman where he got his version. It was clear from the exact same post that i already had a copy of it so why would i be asking for a second copy.
 
Ok, if you got your legal version from an MSDN membership and therefore know where to go to get the beta release, why would you want/need to know where someone else got it?

I'm not trying to say you got yours illegally because quite frankly I don't care if you did or didn't, I'm only trying to show you what it looks like to the admins/mods
 
Ok, thats fine, i repect that. But its over now, its not what i meant though. Anyway, back on topic. Strayed a bit there
 
I don't know but........

From my point of view I am not violating forum rules

1. Posting/discussion about software cracks, serial no's, and illegal downloading and duplication of software is prohibited.
2. Discussions which actively encourage illegal hacking/malicious harm to computers/networks is prohibited.
3. Rude, offensive or threatening comments as well as posting of adult material will not be tolerated.
4. Spam, multiple posting of same topic, promoting your own site/forum and posting of sites with affiliate ID's is not allowed.
5. In case #4 wasnt clear enough, anything along the lines of free/cheap Ipod, Vaio, Computer, etc is a no-no. Also posts saying come and join my new computer forum will be considered as spam and will be promptly deleted.
6. If you've got questions about user ranks and other pseudo-administrative type questions, check FAQ and
Ranks before posting a question about it. Also, feel free to drop in an introduce yourself here!
7. Policy regarding software can be found here here

Unless their is some other rule that says I can't show you it or tell you about it
and you probably are right chances are that I stole it, but I did not violate rule 1 cause I did not tell you how to get it or anything like that nor did I ask dragon2309 where he got his from I simply asked what build it was

Longhorn is only the code name, just like processors have code names while they are in development. It changes to its retail name at release (we don't call a GeForce 6600 an NV43 or an x800 an R420)
 
I kinda hope that they keep "Longhorn". It's a good name. It's also a lot less faceless than "2000", "XP", or "ME". It's an actual name, instead of the soul-less label that they've slapped on their products in the past.

I think the same way. Longhorn has been given a lot of media time and probably an average computer user knows waht Longhorn is. So changing the name would be stupid because people would not know the new one.
 
As much as we all want it to remain "Longhorn" i doubt it will be. It is only codename and will be a 99.9% chance that it will change to something generic like the others. I think they will want to break the trend, it will not be called something like Windows '05 or '06. They will come up with something completely unexpected like XP first was.

If you read the rules first you would have noticed
So, again, to re-iterate, discussion even remotely related to anything attributable, construed or associated with piracy is prohibited. If you didn't read this sticky thread and got your account deactivated or your thread terminated -- too bad. Next time read stickies, announcements and rules before posting.
