In a side-by-side demonstration comparing an early version of Longhorn and Windows XP, Allchin showed two PCs with the current and newer operating system displaying memory-intensive graphics.
The Longhorn machine, although slightly better than Windows XP at displaying graphics-heavy Windows, failed to respond when Allchin also tried to bring up another graphics-intensive application, the popular first person shooter game Quake.
Allchin said that the PC was slow and Microsoft said that the demo worked fine in trials.
The conference, being held this week in Seattle, gathers the hardware manufacturers that make the chips, memory, drives, graphics boards and countless other electronics that work with Windows.
