params Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 (edited) That's right the PDC build of Longhorn (4051) is now available to download from the MSDN Subscription Downloads page if you have access to an MSDN account. Also available are the LDK (Longhorn Driver Kit), SDK and "Whitepapers and Extras" P.

Redmondian Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 Thing is, this build is aimed at developers, so has not a great deal of new eye candy or "wow factor" features. It's just a reasonably stable alpha edition of Window Longhorn, for development. :| Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/115442-windows-longhorn-4051-now-available-for-download/#findComment-1361552 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Japlabot Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 i bet MSDN subscriptions are a hell of a lot expensive though, only sysadmins that work the large companies that have lots of money to spend get their paws on them :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/115442-windows-longhorn-4051-now-available-for-download/#findComment-1362250 Share on other sites More sharing options...

params Posted November 13, 2003 Author Share Posted November 13, 2003 To answer a couple of questions: The Microsoft? Windows? codename Longhorn Driver Kit (LDK) provides a development environment for the creation of drivers for Windows Codename Longhorn, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, and Windows 2000. The LDK provides additional driver-specific headers, libraries, sources, tools, test frameworks, and documentation that are used to develop drivers for Windows codename Longhorn. and The filename for the standard 32bit image is lh_usa_4051_x86fre_pro.iso Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/115442-windows-longhorn-4051-now-available-for-download/#findComment-1363085 Share on other sites More sharing options...
params Posted November 13, 2003 Author Share Posted November 13, 2003 On a side note, this made me chuckle: http://msdn.microsoft.com/longhorn/productinfo/tour/ starts with "This document is intended as a high-level user's guide for developers" but the "high-level" guide includes such items as 1. From the Start menu, click Computer. This is a place from which you can get to all of your storage locations, such as the WinFX default store, and 3. Open the Start menu and click Music. The music you added to the WinFX default store appears in the music collection High-level indeed ;o) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/115442-windows-longhorn-4051-now-available-for-download/#findComment-1363102 Share on other sites More sharing options...

..... Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 It really is good value for money if you're a student. I think it's $250 now for an OS subscription, which gives you all MS Operating Systems, and 10 licenses for each. So, if you've got 3 or more systems needing windows xp pro on them, you're already saving money.
