Re: Windows LH

I have a friend who installed the beta last summer. He said it was pretty stable.
Now I dont know what happened, they may be still adding features or wating for the right time to release it...

I saw Bill Gates on CNN two days ago, it's going to be released in mid-2006 and will include sophisticated debugging features in order to limit errors and problems.

Re: Windows LH

Yeah some of it's debugging means that with the error report everything goes and i mean everything, so if you were using notepad and it crashed then everything you were writing will be sent.

Obviously it's all confidential they won't know who you are, and you'll be given the option to send or not and to remove items such as passwords etc.

Pretty sophisticated
