Longhorn Server Build 5600 - x86 Leaked

Postby TechHead on Wed Sep 06, 2006 5:57 pm

Does anybody know or care that this server build has just been leaked? People that have it say that it is way better than Vista RC1. I may give it a shot. I've never gave the server version a thought. I even got a key.

PRO cannot give support to illegal leaked copies.

don't let this topic get to the point of asking for a link or acutally posting one please :)

Lips are sealed. It should be out for legal testers soon anyway. I'm kind of looking forward to seeing it though. Just a thought.

Now you have me interested. Dl'ing it now from Connect. I guess the 1GB they took out is all the eye-candy. Ya, should run faster but I ain't gonna buy it as I don't need it. It's nice to have a chance to try it though.

Just added some Longhorn Server Build 5600 screenshots to the Windows Vista RC1 Screenshot Gallery, and I am pleased to say, full Aero Glass works great in this build, although it is not enabled by default (you have to install Desktop Enhancements and Themes.)

I'm glad you guys are posting pics here. I guess with all the hoopla about Vista, the server version sort of got forgotten. Just looking at the screenshots so far, I think the server addition is the way to go. Eventually, all of us in the IT business will have to get to know it to a certain degree anyway. M$ is already probably chomping at the bit trying to get all the new Certifications ready.
