I got “The Goods”

Posted on October 27th, 2003

I just got back from the material desk and obtained my copy of the PDC bits. The DVD binder is a black spongy material with “the goods” written on the cover. Besides the bits they gave us a book “Introducing Longhorn for Developers” and a poster of the WinFX that has an overview of the new API. Inside the DVD sleeve is the following:
Longhorn DVD 1 & 2 which includes: longhorn (32 and 64bit), white papers, sample code, self-guided tour, sample book chapters and the like. The longhorn DVD required that you get a license key from a windows preview site. They have a page in each DVD set that has a unique login and password for each copy it appears.
Specs required to run Longhorn:
CPU: 1.6Ghz
RAM: 1 GB
Graphics: Dx7, min 1024×768 @ 32bits, 32MB at min res (recommended dx9, 64Mb)
Yukon CD (resource CD is avail at the SQL Server booth)
Specs Req.:
CPU: 700Mhz
RAM: 512MB
And an interesting note on this CD: “Longhorn” is not a supported platform for the “Yukon” PDC Preview.
Whidby DVD
CPU: P3 800Mhz
RAM: 56MB
HD Space: 1GB on system drive, 4GB on install drive.
