Of course! :D

Do you believe this guy?
no i can't microsoft time is always out of wack they'll release it early before they release it on time

LOL, actually I think he's speaking in microsoft-years :confused: where 2006 for them is actually 2007 or maybe 2008 for the rest of us ;) :D

Perhaps they are using the Indian Civil Calendar, which means this year is 1926, so 2004 translates to, let's see, 2082!!


PS: Just been reading an article that described the date arithmetic bungles they made with Excel! :chuckle: It all makes sense now ......

hey mathimagics could you post a link to the article?

Sorry to spoil the fun...
Whats Longhorn?

Microsofts code name for the next version of Windows.

Here's some info about Longhorn..

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/longhorn/default.mspx

As far as I know about Longhorn, we don't have powerful enought computers to run it at home.

Intel, AMD, ATI and all others are going nuts right now because Micro$oft expectations from next generation computers are REALLY BIG!

Well, I haven't seen Windows get any faster/needier of horsepower in a LONG time. The only [common] programs taking full advantage of the increased hardware power over the past years are 3D games. Otherwise, Windows is just "using a jackhammer to drive a nail."

Horse Power?
How about a 1000 cc engine?

It's not that bad. We've had the longhorn alpha/beta (I can't remember which it was) running on a 500Mhz PII with 256MB of RAM. Ok, it was torturously sluggish, but that PC is at least 6 times slower than a currently specified one.

How the hell did u get a beta?

Perhaps they are Microsoft Beta Testers...

Or have MSDN Universal Subscriptions

as they should be. and every one else especially the people that are designing the new genration of pc's

I heard a Linux´s Lover said that Lonhorn will become the Microsoft´s Unix Emulator

Hardly. I don't think that they could be more different.

if Xp looks like agarden, UNIX is a graveyard.
Thats the TRUTH
