cpu killer Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 Baha Source yes I've got a source.It's offline ATM but I'll link to it when it comes back up. Cool :D. I also higly doubt there will be DCE, its something Microsoft is guarding very closely, but atleast we'll see some more of Aero desktop, maybe not in the main build but at least in some demostration build - also new build means new possibilities of trying to activate a maybe present but not activated DCE :). Gues we'll wait and see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodOlClint Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 I Think it was this still not working for me tho... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuka_t Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 it works, but what he was saying was confusing, but he did say clearly that more "3dness" would be in winhec build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpu killer Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 Doesn't the guy say: "And the next build we release to the public will have an avalon ready 3D API..". :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodOlClint Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 I belive Toward the end he says something like "but this problibly wont be in the build given out at WinHEC" or the next public build. @cpu killer theres a differance between APIs and actual OS Code. APIs are used for Codding apps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpu killer Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 Oh right :). Sorry :p He said about some particular 3D world view not being ready to be shown to the public in the next build, yet not anything about Aero itself :D. A man can dream..hehe.

GoodOlClint Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 Ok, at 2:25 he says that "This stuff is Probibly comming out a little later then the next build we're showing" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mx Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 i heard, that DCE will probably enabled, Wavey Windows, Glass, etc. for Hardware manufacturers to play with. That was from a quite reliabled source, not sure though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuka_t Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 ^what source? would be cool if its true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mx Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 (edited) Someone who is quite knowledgable in the beta area. He said it is probably going to be true because that point hardware manufacturers will want to be able to test the technology and test future hardware. He ain't 100% sure himself but says it might happen. Hope it does. EDIT: he said "it'll have the same level of DCE as shown in the PDC Keynote build, ie. transparency and shading". http://channel9.msdn.com/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1656 I think that is confirmed in that video. "The next build we release will have those APIs", from video. I think it will probably have DCE to an extent.

Jason Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 Hardware manufacturers are in on the development of Longhorn to a degree so will have access to all builds. The build handed out will most likely not have DCE in it but builds hardware manufacturers see will have and most probably already do have. I am refering to ATI / Nvidia.

Malisk Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 (edited) its prolly just a new build with new stuff to play around with What else would it be? A new car brand? :rolleyes: I am refering to ATI / Nvidia. No, don't tell me they're trusting ATI! When MS least expect it, I'm sure they'll do a Doom III stunt again! Seriously, I hope MSH will be included as the default shell at least. It's looking like a cool command shell. But I guess a lot of UI freaks will slam me for that opinion. - *gasp* That dude wants to see other things than Aero! Wtf is wrong with him! :laugh: Edited April 18, 2004 by Jugalator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexus- Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 We'll just have to wait and see. I doubt there will be a new theme included with the new leak. Most of the videos out of recent "advantages of longhorn technology" still show the slate theme. Also, if you watch the .NET show or whatever, they demo longhorn still using slate theme. I just hope it is a release that we can do a little more with. Either way, I am excited about it. they cant just show new ui. Theres reasons newer ui wont show up in videos untill its publicly released Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
