Microsoft started sending Longhorn invites, 5203 screenshots leak.
Published July 9th, 2005 in Windows LonghornToday is kind of ‘a day of Longhorn’. Microsoft has started sending Longhorn BETA invites out, it’s known that only Top 10 R2 bug-reporters and WinHEC attendees who signed up for the BETA have beem invited so far. The Windows Server 2003 SP1 testers were promised to follow-up in the next BETA, or at least, have big chances for being accepted, but I personally haven’t received the invitation yet. There are no materials to download yet, though.
In addition, a Linux and Windows user posted Windows Longhorn screenshots which you can see are 5203-tagged. The 52** series are for internal use/testing only and most likely it was an internal worker who leaked the build, or only those screenshots.
I’ll keep tracking the news about Windows Longhorn in future, too.
Edit: Looking closely at picture number 3, you see that the same person who leaked the screenshots, has got this internal build — his own web-site it displayed in an Internet Explorer 7 window (notice the tabbed-browsing - picture 5).

Hello Prince.
“have you posted some of the stuff that you posted on iexbeta”
I don’t remember posting much there, except for parts of my xImage research. If you mean anything else, let me know. (Actually, I may put the info in the Projects-And-Researches page.)
“have you made agreement with others to to share to much information”
No, I haven’t. Have I shared too much information? I don’t think so. When it comes to internal information, that shouldn’t be leaked, I wouldn’t break my NDA.
Yeah the ximage stuff didnt see it on this blog….maybe add soem pahes from aeroxp information in general you colelcted and posted on aurora..dunno man…
Why does the site look messed up with ie?
Works fine for me !
…to Prince21 : …The argument with Jemaho was unnecessary !
joejoe this aint the place man…u dont know nuffin man you dont even know what arguement was about as jemaho quickly covered it all up..i have my sources that say he is out of order but i want say names
Prince, you may go to the second page of the blog entries, http://stanfisher.aeroxp.net/blog/page/2, and you’ll see the parial xImage research. I’m going to put it up in the appropriate page tomorrow.
The site may look messed up if you use http://www.aeroxp.net/stanfisher, because the WMiNFO plug-in uses an absolute path, and not a relative one, for its sources.
