Neowin takes a peek at Longhorn beta build, 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: 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.
