As both Noia and I can attest, "Longhorn" is VERY FAR REMOVED from being a "built from scratch" operating system. It is, at this point, a dressed up version of XP that sucks up system resources harder than a two dollar hooker on a Saturday night. And like said hooker, it has on plenty of makeup on to make it look attractive but turns out to be a "coyote trap" in the true light of day.

For those who might not understand the coyote trap reference....

Coyote Trap- when you wake up with your arm around someone so ugly that you would rather chew it off at the shoulder and slink away than wake them up.
