Hey recently I have been reading all the new features that longhorn will contain...and thats ALOT it will be overloaded with services, I know that people will start putting up guides on disableing services and the useless black box thats going to be in it I just think their going to overload and have the worst windows out so far thats my opinion feel free to correct me etc
Earlier today someone asked the same question in THIS thread. My opinion is that all desktops and laptops sold with the XP logo attached to it should be able in some way to support Longhorn. At the same time why MS is currently hosting Windows Hardware Engineering Conference 2005 (CLICK ME) to prep the system builders to come up with the better computers.

You cannot tell how sour a lemon will be by looking at it. Comment after you take a bite.
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day.
Teach him to fish and his wife will never forgive you.

yes, but by looking at a lemon you will know its sour becuase thats what they are.
Please keep us updated so we know if we helped you or not.

His comment was " worst windows out so far".
Yes. Any lemon will be sour by it's nature but to tell if its the Sourest you'd have to suck it.Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day.

We will have to wait and see maybe THIS time they will have it or not just like for the last 10 years

This is becoming an intellectual discussion on the metaphysics of judging, not whether lemons are sour, as has been wisely pointed out, but whether or not one can determine the sourest or most acidic of all the lemons. I maintain that that is impossible unless 'all lemons' is defined: e.g., all the lemongs that are here.
So this becomes a matter of judging the acidity of operating systems. Do we mean all the operating systems of whatever kind that have ever existed? Or just that particular one known as Windows?
Maybe we should substitute 'rotten' for 'sour'.
Clearly I don't have enough to do.

Here's a question I've asked on many forums to no avail.
Why would anyone in their right mind update to a 64bit system when software is still being written in 32bit format?
Hard lessons learnt are not easily forgotten.

Justme, there are two answers to your question
1) Initially, the primary markets for 64bit operating systems and software will be servers and scientific applications. 64bit software exists in both areas, and has for a while. Just not on Windows.
2) As 64bit procesors and operating systems become more widely adopted - and eventually supplant 32bit altogether - the number of 64bit consumer-level applications will grow accordingly.
Does that help to answer your question?

jimminy, thanks for that info, whilst I'm aware that there are operating systems which can take advantage of the 64bit processor power, (NT, Unix and Linux) Other software for the general user (Adobe Photoshop) being one which loves that power is rather limited at the moment.
I couldn't see the logic of having that sort of power available and not be able to make use of it.
For the moment I'll stick with my old P3 2x600's server which has not missed a beat in the past 5yrs.

Hi. On the hardware side of things (not OS side) the 64 bit CPUs are MUCH faster than the older amd XP's, and nearly any P4 so far as gaming goes (and some memory benchmarks too. 64 Bit windows offers not benefit though and likely won't for some time to come. It's really all about pure speed, cpu/memory scaling/gaming/video encoding/autocad apps. With these apps A64 AMD CPU's have a tremendous speed/scaling advantage.
