Looks far too XP-esque, and I hate XP, so I'd be biased against it naturally!

Think it looks good, MS seem to have gone for eye candy now tho which means alot of computers wont be able to handle all the graphical intensity of it.

Yeah good point... surely the classic look in longhorn will be how XP looks now?!?!
They'll prob have settings for less graphics and stuff. They're stupid if they don't and I for one won't stand for it!!!

286???? Your jokin right mate?
Longhorn was MADE for 286s!!!! Do you know nowt? The sheer power that the 286 has will totally confuse Longhorn into not working at all. < nervous twitch
