The moment nearly every Windows enthusiast has been waiting for has all but nearly arrived. Windows Code-Named Longhorn 4051 has leaked onto the internet. As Paul Thurrott correctly confirmed late last evening. The select few who have been able to get hold of the build are currently working to install it. No doubt we'll see it half way round the internet within 12 hours or so.

6.0.4051.0 (idx02.031001-1340) is the build stamp. For all those who can't wait for people to install it and screenshot the hell out of it I've included a little taste at what is to come. As usual we'll keep you well up to date on all that's going on with this build as we get it

Looks like XP with a few new "features" and possibly more security flaws.

Who am I kidding, the security flaws ARE the new added features LOL!

The target date is 2006 and this far out you know the build has to be buggy. I've seen lots of screenies though.
