that's pretty cool Sen, thanks :)

It looks nice, but those icons look alot like the ones you can get for stardock and other gui apps for windows already.

[senocular]

probably already getting hit pretty hard :!:

I managed to snag them all and have them mirrored here

woaw thanx for the link


this windows will blast evry thing it looks better than mac os X :b:

[eilsoe]

looks good :)

[mariofan]

wants to be osx so badly...

[thoriphes]

Ugh, that version of windows seems too user-friendly for me.

[BadMagick]

Yeah, it looks good ... but it's still Windows!

We'll have to see if it runs better than the other Windows OS-es. I think my XP running laptop is nice, but I love the UNIX based Mac OS-X.

Only time will tell - Longhorn is scheduled for 2006 release. But you can bet your butts that I'm not investing in a new computer until then!

[Digitalosophy]

wow cool, i just got to see all the images, looks real nice

[Maxtr0sity]

Doesn't look that much different than XP right now, it's just another version of XP (XP2). But it's going to require a bunch of system resources to get those graphics and such, I'm thinking 256MB minimal RAM, 32MB minimal graphic card. :sure:

Microsoft, sucks, but yet I love it to death.:love:

Plus the file system will be based off of SQL. It'll be a strange breed. The visuals of it are far from carved in stone though. Some people like the new direction, others not so much. And I dont see where its wanting to be os x so badly :P


(and yes, m$ sucks :)

[BadMagick]

oh come one Sen ... just check out the orriginal prototype pictures ... those icons, that desktop - it screams Mac OS-X!

[senocular]

say mac users

(and yes, m$ sucks :) they can work as hard as they want on interface, but i'm still going to use the old Windows 2000 style/theme.

thor i dont even go to that, i use a custom skin :thumb: and yeah i can see it tryin to be an osx but eh, never will :beam:

ahmeds friend had long horn, a beta. you really can find anyting on kazaa :thumb:

a person from the computer store i worked at snagged a copy of longhorn for me...i haven't even thought about it until i saw this thread

i just installed it and am actually using it right now...honestly, in the alpha stage it looks like a skinned windows xp. won't be able to really tell until it gets the new file system.

it does look like it has a different way of organizing files though...groups pictures, videos, and documents together kind of like a mac
