What operating system is running on the desktop on the right?

Are these fonts being put into the first beta of Longhorn, or do they only ship with the full Aero UI, as in beta 2?

^^^ And that, kids, is how you start rumors!

Chances are that it might also be called "Windows Command Shell", at least that's what the preview setup file is called currently.

...and the WinFX betas when they start.

Related topic: Why is the toolstrip support so simplistic in WinForms 2.0? And why are there no docking windows? All that stuff is available full-featured in WTL, but not WinForms 2.0.

I'm currently using SandBar and SandDock from divil.co.uk, but I'd rather have WinForms supply the same controls as WTL does.

Dumb question, are the premises (code and whatnot) for a ClickOnce install packed with the file that gets deployed on a webserver? Means, can anyone install a ClickOnce package without installing something else in advance?

And when?

I could swear that Indigo was supposed to be shipped way in advance of the rest.

Secondly: WinFS IS NOT A FILESYSTEM!!!  It's a storage system for file metadata.  The WINFS store is a file in a directory on an NTFS partition.  It's NOT a filesystem in its own right.  You don't put files in WinFS, you put file metadata in WinFS.

There's a BIG difference.

It is a file system, you can put files into it, create folder structures, access the files thru UNC path. I've been copying images, music, text files and what not into the WinFS store of my Longhorn installation. They were INSIDE the store, I had to access them a la \\localmachine\DefaultStore\folder\anotherfolder\coolpicture.jpg.

Ok, technically the filestreams go onto NTFS, but everything is abstracted by WinFS. At some later point this could very well change, and noone would notice (unless you're eagle eyeing your System Information Folder).
