126827 2003-03-09 09:20:00 Win 2000 is NT5.0 so they may be right. mikebartnz (21)
126828 2003-03-09 09:24:00 Yes it runs 22 tests and does open and close a lot of windows. Netscape 7 and mozilla get a clean bill of health. Opera crashes when tested. IE6 fully patched on Win98 still has one medium vulnerability. mikebartnz (21)
126829 2003-03-09 09:25:00 Yep, it is.. RawWrite reports it as that too....

Dunno what they're calling .NET - Should b 6 IMHO!

126830 2003-03-09 09:45:00 XP is NT 5.1

Also gecko engine (mozilla, netscape, phoenix, etc) seem to be fine. IE not so.

It also told me I was running Win 98.... when I'm using Win ME....

Plus when they say to check Windows Update for these patches, that I need, they Not listed there???? ?:| ?:|

I reakon cuz it's built on the .NET Framework, as opposed to the origional NT technology. I could be wrong though, but to me, .NET rc2 seemed like a whole new ball game in the OS dept.

It was a major improvement from XP and 2K, and if Longhorn is an end-user based version of this as opposed to a Server OS, then I'll be lining up to buy longhorn ASAP!

fair enough I suppose. But as far as I am aware the .NET Server (now called Windows Server 2003?) is the server version of XP well sort of. Just like there is Windows 2002 Profession/Server/Adv.Server.

Longhorn has a new filesystem and other goodies like that...... *waits for a trial of longhorn ;)*
