Anyone downloaded it yet? I have just downloaded an evaluation copy from trustee e-mule, and so far:
1) I cannot run it in hyperthreading mode - it hangs.
2) It has to be THE slowest O/S I have ever installed.
3) What's with the task bar on the right hand side with the in-built clock the size of Big Ben?? You would need a 19" TFT just to make the clock look right.
4) Don't remove the "Build number..." from the desktop, or it will hang next time you reboot it requiring a new installation.

Overall it does look different and exciting, but it's not as if Microturd is short of money, so why don't they pre-trial this to MCSE clients and await an honest feedback instead of releasing yet another Microturd *uck-up to the general public and try and sort it with Service Pack 6,000,000?

I have three machines running it tonight and I welcome the new look. Unfortunately when I log on to the Windows Update site it profusely swears at me with a large red 'Stop' sign! I wonder why that is??

Anybody else have any Longhorn experience?
