Good memories. I remember leeching longhorn builds from some guy on an irc channel on efnet through xdcc transfers. Every two-three weeks there was a new longhorn build that I would burn on a cd and use to format the family pc. I would've been a great beta tester!

Indeed, that's the same way I acquired the beta/pre-release versions of W95/W98, although in my case I believe it was fileservers on Undernet, not EFnet.
