A quick peek at Longhorn

11 May 2005

In case you live under a rock, Microsoft has been dangling Longhorn, the next installment of Windows, around for ages.

See a sneak peek here.

Frankly, I'm unimpressed. Every time I have to set up a new computer the first thing I do is turn off all that extra graphic shite they have going on all over the place. A) it makes everything slow, and B) it takes so god damned long to navigate to everything.

Furthermore, I'd be impressed if their search ACTUALLY SEARCHED! I have such beef with their search, if you haven't noticed.

So besides changing some colors, what are the real changes to Longhorn gonna be?!?!

Microsoft is jumping on the bandwagon for everything, they also have a new MP3 player in my royal opinion that sucks. And Apple just came out with a new computer as well...Microsoft is SO late on everything....

Welly beat me to the punch but Spotlight feature in Tiger does actually search. You type a word and it searches through files, email, pictures, songs, you name it...

I'm picking up a copy ASAIGP (as soon as i get paid).
