The new version of windows was to be called longhorn but now I believe they are going to call it Vista.

I found a screenshot of a beta.  It looks a lot like XP.

Found it in the Wikipedia.  I find stuff there and then click for hours reading about things I don't use.  Apparently the OS to come after Vista has long been in the works as well.

Hot tip from Tricky D:

When browsing any .com websites you do not need to type in the www. or the .com in the address bar of IE.

e.g You want to go to http://www.google.com or http://www.dictionary.com for instance;

Simply type google in the address bar of IE then press Ctrl + Enter or dictionary then Ctrl + Enter

This works for all http://www.???????.com websites...try it now. imdb then Ctrl + Enter

All the utilities and diagnosis tools you will ever need from dos based antivirus, partitioning, through to XP administrator password removal. (IE so you can access any XP computer).

For a quick shut down without the usual Windows loitering just hit the power button on the Box.

When all else fails and you don't live on the 3rd floor or above, dynamite would probably be effective.

What you do is sell it and describe it in the classifieds as "Ideal for students."

Did you know (for XP)

If you right click "Start" you get a menu
Particulary useful for quick access to Window Explorer (bottom of menu).

In Window Explorer

Click "View" on the toolbar and "choose details" on the menu.

There you can select which columns you would like to be displayed in Explorer.
I use it to display the name of artists and albums for my music files.

Windows has a zillion settings which are well hidden, but can be changed to customize Windows.
You would need to write a book on Windows to list them.

I would prefer having people asking about how to find such or such thing on Windows rather than writing the book.

I've been using the build of Windows "Costanza" over the long weekend that scuttlebutt says will be recompiled as release candidate this week - real improvement over Windows Vista, actually everything Vista was promised to be slick stable and responsive. Microsoft have really sorted out their errors, not that they'd admit to them existing!

Help!
I'm using windows movie maker to make a movie for my daughter's 21st. When I revisited what I had done, some of the images have big red crosses on them and won't play in the timeline. I've tried browsing for them but it tells me to check the file names.
What can I do??
I know that with the media (audio track and a short video clip, I have to browse from the data stick where they sit. This works fine, but what's happened with the photos?

Big X means that you've moved the source file somewhere or it isn't available (ie it's been deleted). Find the file you're looking for and move it back into the folder it was in before when you first used it. If you've accidently deleted the file restore it from your recycle bin.

Oh I kept doing that with the audio files I used in the EVSC results show I made, had to re-copy them to desktop so many times
