Push The Limits Of Windows. Review on Microsoft Longhorn

Well many of the OS Testers and Developers in Mouthshut are curious about Longhorn launch. Many MSDN users already tried the beta veriosn 4015,4008.So many reviews are already here.So you are still thinking what is longhorn anyway.Microsoft's eating ''Penguin & apple pie?'',what the hell it is.Well it is microsoft's new OS launching in market to beat New Peguin in valley with Old sweet Apple.There are lot of features going to launch with it.Some of few I know are listed below.

1) Fast insatllation 18-20 minutes or so.

2) New boot screens,Taskbar,Sidescreen,Welcome screen.

3) Shell improvements,Search,activesync.

4) WinFS API,Indigo messenging system Many more Blah..Blah.

New user interface codenamed Avalon which uses 3D computer graphics and Direct3D.This interface devided into 3 parts as :-

1.Aero Glass :-Requires more memory,Excellent Graphics,Animation,visual special effects.This is the area most of us will be looking at.

2.Aero:-Requires less memory than AG but fast on operation.

3.Classic Mode:-For those who do not meet requirements of Aero then they will ne automatically migrated to W2k clasic smode.There is lot of development going on with desktop enhancement so until final release nobody's sure about avalon's future.No doubt they are hungery to beat apple on desktop expereince.

Microsoft developed new filesystem named WinFS which is still under developement,better than NTFS but still there are isues with the WINFS.I think you will find system much slower with WINFS,anyone here with same results pls email me.

Command line is still there but not as powerfull as in win9x os ,codename Monad.It is developing in aim to beat Unix command line as Monad uses pipe's and filter philosophy.

After using it you will definitely find it that MS is against Opensource OS's.they are actually stealing some features from them.

Windows XP includes CD-writing feature so Longhorn supports DVD-writing capability.i do find Xp's this free writing software better than nero cause regardless of where your files are you can serach for it and send them to writing wizard. Also Longhorn supports No-excution feature for AMD and Inel processor.Some more nice features such as virtual file structure lets us categarise,organise files in new way.File management is much easier as you can open your files from anywhere in desktop regardless where you save the file.

For testers and devlopers I suggest keep eye on My contacts,Game liabrary,parental control,WinFS etc.

What I fear about Longhorn?

Software cost,application upgrade cost,Old software support,Control Of MS over software etc.

As about 16 ways MS is controlling our OS thru internet if they dont let users use OS alone and forcing users to use OS according to thier way, may be many of us will switch to UNIX,Linux or Apple or maybe BSD.

Media player security issue is also not new to you as when you connect media player to internet to serch for radio station then it collects some information from user.acc.to securityfocus.com Microsoft Media Player (Tells Microsoft the music and videos you like)I m not so against MS software but there products are soon will be as useless as Reliance india mobile.May be instead of beliving on me better try these websites.

From Windows XP I learned that microsoft is trying to control user's privacy in the name of Piracy.WPA is the wastage of time for non internet users like us,we need to phone them everytime XP asks for activation.It asks every month or so cause I connect my friends hard disk with mine to copy Huge Office excel files instaed of wasting CD.

So my hardware Config Changes which leads to Reactivation.

That's Why they made Volume License Sceme Which Forces Users to buy more copies of Microsoft XP.

well I m serious about MS OS performance and security so I always warn other peoples before any purchase they make with Microsoft.atlast it is your choice to think about their softwares.
