This article is a chronicle of the steps I took to install Longhorn and get to build my first program. Being an early adopter kind of guy I wanted to dig right in and start building apps as soon as I got the bits. Alas, it takes quite a bit of work to get there. The first steps are to install the Longhorn PDC Build itself. I can't say it better than Clemens said here as I followed his advice and steps. Unless you're into trashing your system and disks, you should consider Virtual PC 2004. However, as I'll mention later, it will run like a dog, a 14 year old dog. Some of this is debug code in Longhorn but mostly Virtual PC 2004 and you may want to consider a separate PC. I can't right now so I installed it on Virtual PC 2004. I used my USB drive and I allocated 402Mb memory to VPC, instead of the recomended 256 MB. Believe me, it will need all it can get.
Note: I got awful tired of fighting Scott's editor that kept taking my escaped XMLand turning it back into HTML tags so its as close as I can get it right now (2 hours on formating alone)
