Guest Richie M Posted April 7, 2003 Report Posted April 7, 2003 LH runs great on my PC, the most stable alpha OS i have ever seen!! runing M4. :wink: Posted as you Birthday present m8 :( Yeah this is M4 Build 4008 blah blah blah, i've got it running in Vitrual PC so it's a bit slow but impressive for an Alpha ;) Posting a second lot in a seperate thread cos of the size :lol:
Guest ClintEastman Posted April 7, 2003 Report Posted April 7, 2003 Had it on a VPC (bit slow) now running on a DB, with WINFS on, runs GREAT!
Guest ClintEastman Posted April 7, 2003 Report Posted April 7, 2003 Richie M, i take it you have disabled WINFS on your VPC?
Guest Richie M Posted April 7, 2003 Report Posted April 7, 2003 Richie M, i take it you have disabled WINFS on your VPC? :oops: i guess not, as i don't know what that is :roll:
Guest ClintEastman Posted April 7, 2003 Report Posted April 7, 2003 Windows Future Storage (mimics some aspects of the Yucon (SQL) file system (the bit MS have been working on for the last 10 Years!!)) right click on My Computer, click Manage and go for services. then disable the service (never runs again). Seems that WINFS runs like a dog on VPCs.... :wink:
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted April 7, 2003 Report Posted April 7, 2003 Weren't the principles implemented in WINFS applied to the latest NTFS, but never utilised by XP? (You can attach "meta tags" to files for instance, and search by them...)
Guest ClintEastman Posted April 8, 2003 Report Posted April 8, 2003 mono i think you're right (don't need to reformat for winfs)..... not really my area though!
Guest priccijr Posted April 8, 2003 Report Posted April 8, 2003 I know it's in alpha but is there a estmated release date? I looks amazing.
Guest Richie M Posted April 8, 2003 Report Posted April 8, 2003 Priccijr - sometime in 2005 i believe :shock:
Guest ClintEastman Posted April 8, 2003 Report Posted April 8, 2003 I know it's in alpha but is there a estmated release date? I looks amazing. It will look NOTHING like that when it's done! Plex (the VS) is only a standin as the GUI is being replaced with GUI+ (powered by your GPU™). The whole desktop will basicly be made of flat, textured polygons!!! Well that's the idea at the moment... Of course the whole lot might change yet, At the moment think of it as WindowsXP+ so it's not REALLY Longhorn yet (Name guesing time now, i got Office 2003 right so lets call it Windows SX? or Windows 2004?)
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted April 8, 2003 Report Posted April 8, 2003 Windows 2004 sounds scarily furtuistic... And that method of "rendering" the GUI is gonig to hit old GFX cards hard...the first release of windows to need a high-ish end gfx card? :lol:

Put it this way, i have been putting off an upgrade until the second half of 2004 (so hard!!!).... What will kill older PCs will be the file system.... It's going to have a hell of a Min Spec....
