Neowin takes a peek at Longhorn beta build (http://www.neowin.net/comments.php?id=14694&category=main), screenshots are here although there is no reason to believe this is how the final OS will look like, still being years away.

Given that Half-Life 2 has been delayed, ATI has updated their Radeon bundle offer (http://www.ati.com/gitg/promotions/hl2offer/index.html): Valve and ATI have added the Valve Premier Pack free, which includes the games: Half-Life, Counter Strike, Team Fortress Classic, Deathmatch Classic, Half-Life: Opposing Force and Ricochet. This is a limited time bonus offer that expires once Half-Life® 2 is available.

Its a nice gesture at least, regardless of how useless it will be to many.

isn't valve moving all of those games to steam now? my old half-life cd is useless now (at least for updates). i don't play those games anymore so it doesn't really matter so to speak.
