Some screenshots of the latest version of Windows, code named “Longhorn”, have leaked. Some of the screen shots look kinda cool. They actually remind me a lot of KDE (a GUI that runs under Linux). One of the more interesting (albeit mostly useless) features is the ability to restrict guest user log in times. Great.
What really sucks is Microsoft’s idea of “Trustworthy Computing”, which is implemented in this new release. I bet dollars to donuts that it makes it harder to get real work done because of all the new restrictions and limitations, and doesn’t actually stop the baddies from breaking into your computer and stealing Aunt Mildred’s secret pie recipe. We’ll just have to wait and see.
