I have windows Longhorn. Its such an early beta that its not that different from XP. The sidebar can bereplicated through software, and the Plex visual style using StyleXP. Basically its XP with a few new bugs. :roll:

Well, I was just saying that he may have downloaded a fake of Longhorn. I know that Longhorn is real, but you know how a$$holes like to put fake stuff out...
