Seven months after announcing plans to take up where Microsoft left off with its Windows Longhorn client development, a group of members of the Joejoe.org site have built a working prototype of what they're calling 'Longhorn Reloaded'. Earlier this week, the Longhorn Reloaded developers and testers posted for download Milestone 1 of Longhorn Reloaded. "Longhorn Reloaded is a Project dedicated to the revival of the Operating System known as Code Name 'Longhorn'. To put the projects aims simply, we aim to finish off what Microsoft started before the operating system was canceled. It is a modification of Windows 6.0.4074, which was originally released during the 2004 Windows Hardware Engineers Conference," explained the Longhorn Reloaded team on the Joejoe Web site.

Cynical, but well said.
IANAL, but I'm pretty sure "Longhorn Reloaded" could very easily run into legal trouble.
This reminds of when, a long while back, a "revival" of Rhapsody was started (http://osnews.com/story.php/6130/Introducing-the-Rhapsody-Project). Sadly, it didn't get anywhere, and that will probably the case with this.
