Hi All,
I have managed to get Longhorn 4029. The cd is bootable, but because of my SCSI cdrom drives I am unable to boot directly from the cd.
Is there a bootdisk for longhorn?
Or Is it possible to startup with a win98 bookdisk and somehow start the install process from the cd?

There will be no more boot disks, XP was the last one.
Also the pig latin was to check the name change works.
Iglatinpay in OnghornLay UildBay 4029: What's the Story?
I've received a lot of questions about the bizarre pig latin that appears in the desktop version string in Windows Longhorn build 4029. Surely this is a fake, right? No, it isn't. According to a source at Microsoft, the company was simply testing its new version-identification scheme, which Microsoft is using to dramatically simplify the way it provides the product name and version number in its OSs. By changing the Windows version string to pig latin, Microsoft can be sure it's correctly propagating to all the places in the UI in which the information is displayed. In earlier Windows versions, changing the product name or version number, as the company did repeatedly with Windows Server 2003, caused a lot of problems because the information had to be changed manually in dozens of locations. Now the company can make fast changes because the information appears only once in the Windows code.
