I remember being excited about Longhorn. Had they launched a RC like they did for Windows 7, they might have avoided the debacle that was Vista.

- rbanffy 16y agoIt's not that hard to get excited after you watch something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPDT21oEhW0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPDT21oEhW0 At that time, it looked like they had something that would humiliate the competition. I had not completed my transition over to Linux at that time and considered, seriously, sticking to Windows.
- zokier 16y agoSeriously, 7 years later and it still looks great. Too bad they couldn't deliver that.
- kingkilr 16y agoThey did have an RC though, or at least a beta (which couldn't have been that restricted).
- lurkinggrue 16y agoThey did and I ran it for 3 months before giving up and going back to XP, it was rather painful. Though, it was a "Death by 1000 paper cuts" sort of situation with vista.
