Hi,
Right,
4008 installed flawlessly directly from CD. Several 'tools'
alvailable here and there facilitating daily use work good too.
You can now actually surf the net with it, wich is rather useful. 3683 fell flat on its a** every time you opened a browser.
The PC I got it on has an old Ensoniq SB64 soundcard, there's no driver that's any good. It looks like there's no SB driver for any card included. Also, the procedure for installing a driver has changed somewhat from XP, giving you less of a free hand in using different drivers.
So far, I've been using mIRC, with scrips and some other stuff, works fine. Also a newsreader and some utils.
Fat32 seems to have left the building, only NTFS remains.
There's a serious speed issue. I run it now on a P3-500 with about 400 Mb ram, full SCSI-UW, and it tends to lag a bit.
Representation of icons and fonts are rough. The subsystem may need work, or there could be a number of settings I just haven't tried yet.
Next up is the installation of Systemworks 2K3. Let's see if that destroys it  . If that doesn't I'll try partition magic.

lol Partition magic is a sure way to kill any OS. Man, I hate that program. I've probably used it 12 or so times and out of those 12 maybe twice it has worked as it's supposed to.
Keep us posted.

As with many Microsoft Alpha/Beta Operating Systems, these things may not work as advertised, w
ork properly OR *work at all* if you can at least get LongHorn to complete installation and run
then you are already ahead of the game. Things don't run right on LongHorn? That's the
fact of life, nothing will run as advertised on LongHorn or at all -- It's just *THAT* goo
d still ;P

It's been running for a while now. I still think its slow on a P3-500  .
I installed Systemworks 2003. There was an error on a system file that was wrtite protected and could't be replaced. Every time I start up, I now get an error message on the trashcan protection. Oh well. The rest of the apps, including the virus protection, seem to work fine. Sharing files and dirs over the home network works flawlessly, although they're still fiddling with the filing system. This might cause headaches in later releases, but so far so good.
I was apprehensive about installing Partition magic, but I did it anyway. I've resized the primary partition and there were no hickups. Amazing.
A friend suggested theat trying to uninstall some of the stuff might bring everything down. I'll try that.
'Next up is the installation of a newsreader. Lets see where that gets us.
Oh, and I want a decent defragmentation tool.
I'll let you know how I fare.

I forgot,
For obstinate proggies that refuse to install, there's now a 'XP
compatability mode'
added to the 95, 98 and 2000 modes. I don't know if this bodes wel
l for the future, but I had to use it to get Partition Magic installed. It did work, however.

Give up on it, it's not really meant to be used as a Primary OS at all. It's in very early stages of development, and nothing will work perfectly on it.
Wait until it'
s in its beta stages, it will become more usuable like it was in the days of the Windows XP bet
as.
