Partition your HDD, stick XP Pro for day to day use and Longhorn on a spare partition.

I'd imagine it's still flakey as fuck right now so wouldn't trust it with anything too important.

Where'd you download that from then? It's still in alpha as far as I know?

I would recommend Win2K... The most stable OS IMO.

Does everything you need and it does it well, MS got it right with 2k!

The main difference about longhorn is the user interface for Windows desktop is going to be DirectX based, so windows and dekstop screens will be in true 3 dimensional form
