to be honest i think when it comes out it will have so many bugs and problems people will have to leave it for a year.

I do agree it looks like a really bad copy of mac, even thought I don't really like macs.
Areo interface? Can soemone explain Big Grin **embarassed**
How were you able to beta test it, is it up for download?
Are you being sarcastic? I heard longhorn was the worst they ever tried to re-create. lol Tongue I saw some of the screen shots in an issue of PCGamer, or it was Maximum PC
oh. I forgot about that Big Grin I was thinking Lornhorn was a diffrent OS. Big Grin
i know a lot of companies using windows 2000.  they are only just starting to upgrade to xp and that is only because some software doesn't run on 2000 anymore.

having it their way i know they would stick with 2000.
Yeah, it just costs them more money. And you know the way some companies are about money Big Grin

BUT if there is a new OS out, 'hackers' will be targting that rather than the old system, so you are better off with stick with what you got for at least a year or two.

Don't fully agree with that.
True, many hackers will try to find security holes in the new OS.
But on the other hand, hackers already found many security holes in "old" operating system.
And since almost everybody is using XP now, and it'll stay like that for lets say 2 years, hackers will keep exploiting those security holes.
Just because there are more possible targets.


it is true they have found wholes in the system but most of them have been sorted with OS updates.  But XP has been out for a long time and although hackers may aim to hit it, it is a pretty good OS now.  Along with all of the firewalls they would have in place it would b quite difficult to hack in.

The new operating system won't be any where near as safe.  There are aways holes in new system, however much they test it they would be unable to see any problems until it has been released and people are properly testing it.

i was listening to a podcast earlier in last week say that it is going to be a lot better on security.
