What's the catch?

If history is any judge, it will be larger, slower to boot up and shut down, and be more things to more people.

Other than than, it seems to be much adieu about nothing...but to be fair, will have to give it a real test drive to see for myself.

The icon for a Word document, for example, is a tiny iteration of the first page of the file. Folders, too, show glimpses of what's inside. Such images can be rather small, but they offer a visual cue that aids in the searching process, Allchin said.

You are probably right - think of the resources to show all the documents like that - people think it's cool, but then they turn around and carp about how slow their system is...

I think we're going to get fresh lipstick on the same ol pig, but I could be wrong

Certain to have a new mother load of security flaws which will alloe our PC's to get infected. Isn't Longhorn 64 bit as well?
