Longhorn has been in development for ages I got a build about a year and a half ago.

Im just gonna wait for the offical final release though, there's no point otherwise.

Yes it does come out 2006 but there have been leaked beta's for years now.

Its quite easy to download (as is anything).

But the last thing you want a beta of is a Windows operating system, its bad enough when its official!

Thats because the new look of Longhorn hasnt been added yet. The new desktop is fully DirectX so you can have 3D stuff etc so what Longhorn looks like now is nothing like the final version hence the "Wait till its done" comment.

I don't really like all this talk about downloading leaked betas. Stuff like that is against the rules of the forums.
