No public Longhorn preview, says MS - developers only

edited October 2003 in Science & Tech
The recent leak of a special 'Longhorn' build, designed for 'Microsoft's Professional Developers Conference' may actually turn out to be much more of a rarity than most around the web had originaly expected. According to Microsoft, the recent new build of 'Longhorn' will not be widely available after all.

[blockquote]The PDC build, 4051, is part of a DVD package, which also includes the Longhorn SDK and Whidbey, handed out this week. Some have been expecting Microsoft to cater for developers who're not attending PDC by including it in the December MSDN (Microsoft Developer Network) update, and it's also been rumoured that it will be made available to the wider public for a small fee in November. This latter would have been unprecedented, because 4051 is an alpha version, and beta 1 of Longhorn, Microsoft's Jim Allchin indicated this week, won't be out until next summer.
