i think longhorn is good and OSX is great, only one thing i would add to OSX, Right Click !
And if you remember, the betas always looked PRETTIER than the real thing. (Whistler vs XP, anyone?) 
Which would imply Longhorn will only get UGLIER. >.<
And OS X DOES have right-click. Apple MICE don't.
Just to say, this must be the most gay looking GUI i have ever seen.. My eyes almost popped out 
I installed Longhorn 4051 yesterday. Just want to let you know it runs great. Here are some ScreenShots :
1.- That is one Damn big clock!!!
2.- Where are the buttons in the explorer?!?!?! back and forward wouldnt do it for me...
3.-i can see that the bliss is hitting its fall 
BTW... you could have posted this right there in the already open longhorn thread

1- I agree that clock is HUGE! (But looks nice 
2- I hide the other buttons in IE (Don't worry they are still there)
Sorry I didn't see the other longhorn thread
Nah, i dont worry about htose buttons, ill prolly be over at Mac OS by longhorn's release (Y) (i will have HOPEFULLY saved enough for my dream setup)
It's called Longhorn Leaked!
OMFG!! That clock is huge and disgusting. My monitor at max supports 1024X768 and that thing takes up literally half the screen! They better change the gui.
What do you think of this little quote from Paul Thurrott's WinInfo ?!? Sounds pretty cool.
Longhorn rocksWell, we finally got a lengthy Longhorn/Aero demo and ... my goodness. Longhorn is going to rock, and we're only disappointed that the build we got doesn't show this system's best features off effectively. The transparent window effects--called glass windows, appropriately enough--are beautiful. The ability to embed video and any other kind of media into documents, apps, and anything else you can think off--even small previews you see when you mouse-over a scrollbar--are just incredible, surpassing anything on any system available today (yes, including Mac OS X Panther). The visuals in Longhorn are just going to blow you away, and the good news is we have plenty of photos and video to prove it.

Beta 1 is pegged for April 2004.
There's a pre-beta being release mid to late November.
Windows XP is working good and pretty stable for me.
What are the new features of Longhorn that we can't live without and have to switch from XP?
Yeah but you could kinda say that about 98 when XP was in beta. They looked pretty identical, but would you rather be using 98 now? If you would, please, please see a doctor.
Actually, for speed, I did like 98/2000. Only a few interface changes. In a 500MHz PIII, XP is soooooo slow. Also, I already saw a doctor and she said I was crazy. Seriously. I'm not kidding. And she's a therapist.
