DrCheese Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 I'm in the beta testing for R2, Currently haven't gotten around to testing out the product fully at work yet(Busy workload atm)Tho we've got a box installed with it ready for us to use and abuse and see if any of its new features are useful to us. Once thing we did notice(and found funny) was that the "Configure your server" welcome screen was "blocked" by the Windows firewall(The same one from Windows XPSP2), Anyone else had this? Looking forward to next week when we intend to give it a proper test, since the students will all be on there winter breaks, tho again we may not have time since we're having a new IT sutie built :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomwarren Veteran Posted December 26, 2004 Veteran Share Posted December 26, 2004 Mr Dee, you should keep what your friend sends to you safely in your My Documents folder.

Hurmoth Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 I'm still trying to figure out what that screenshot has to do with Windows 2003 R2. Doesn't belong in this thread at all :no: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't belong in this thread at all :no: 585170531[/snapback] Yeah, the first one yes showed that he talks to other people at OSBetaArchive (wow, hes so cool), and the 2nd doesn't show anything interesting or realted :no: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Dee Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 Yeah, the first one yes showed that he talks to other people at OSBetaArchive (wow, hes so cool), and the 2nd doesn't show anything interesting or realted :no: 585172459[/snapback] Wait a minute, did I cause some conflict because I posted something from OS Beta Archive? All I did was post a screenshot of the OS, whats wrong with that? I asked for one, no one wouldn't show me, so I decided to go find one and share the joy. Is there a penalty on NeoWin for doing that? If so, I will understand that its disrespectful to show something from another site, sorry. I just posted the Longhorn concept randomly, no specific reason, just posted it in this thread, sorry. Mr. Creamhackered, I'm not that easily humilated, not because someone said its ugly, thats their opinion. Why do you think Microsoft has something called beta testing? Its for user feedback on things like what Mr. PF has found a fault with. Concerning my Longhorn 5029 post being locked Mr. Creamhackered, no prob, yes it was created by me. But to be honest, that is what Longhorn will eventually look like, have you not seen the presentation by Hillel Cooperman, thats what the Start Menu really looks like, look at the composite desktop here on Paul Thurrotts Winsupersite: http://www.winsupersite.com/reviews/pdc2003_hillel.asp What you have seen so far in the 4053 and 4074 builds of Longhorn are actually place holder themes, so, I just decided to have some fun create something close to what might actually be in Longhorn betas 1 or 2. Anyway, Happy New Year when it comes, lets all live in peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh wait, atleast GCN makes some OK DWM skins, you're just a random, useless persona posting fake mattel-like and just plain down ugly looking Longhorn fakes in a Server 2003 R2 thread. Congrats.
