Some of you may already know this but Miro$oft's new version was "leaked" to the wilds this month. http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,3959,715463,00.asp There are already screen shots and keys and cracks for the activation feature. From everything ive read on this os. It is "promised" to be a pretty sweet system. I should have a copy of it this coming week, so I will post a review of this "Alpha" version.

(Just a bit of conspiracy theory here) Why would an alpha version of this os "accidentally be leaked"? I would think that if was accidentally released, that there would not be any activation feature. just my 2 cents. /me thinks it was leaked on purpose for publicity.

If you wish to lear more about alpha and beta releases, check out this website. There is great info here about Longhorn. http://board.iexbeta.com/ibf10/index.php?
