SOOPAH256 Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 Hey guys, I was surfing around the web and came across this video of MS Research. It seems as those they are planning on using this new design for the next Windows OS. I personally have some difficulty accepting it, though I just love to use new stuff. Tell me what you think about it. *BTW, the video is 72MB, so it might take a while for some of you to load. BROADBAND CONNECTION IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aco Veteran Posted March 10, 2002 Veteran Share Posted March 10, 2002 I've seen it before and I wasn't too impressed. I think that people like a certain degree of complexity in the UI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chipi Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 it's awsome... think about what great themes people can create for this thing :D ;) !!! but.. the video is from 1999, and the website is from 2000, so i guess the project is close...................... :ermm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WIN3D It's a 3d UI for Windows 9x (don't know bout xp) it's pretty kewl.. but gets old... it's like trying to do office work in Doom..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like they are designing games for kids... it's a RESEARCH project. it takes half a brain to realize that this not a final product. final interface, if it will ever come to life, be alot more polished, faster and more capable.i doubt this project is closed. more likely it's in quiet mode now as ms moving it from research to actual implementation. they wouldn't want apple to out do them again:right: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radioboy Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 Originally posted by Krome And when is Microsoft going to introdude animated icons? My cousin had an olllllllllllld IBM Aptiva that right until we formatted it a few weeks ago was running Windows95 w/ PLUS! There were a bunch of IBM-related icons on the desktop that were constantly moving. All I can say is that animated icons would drive me absolutely insane, and she only had about 4. As for Win3D it makes me think of that old "3D Maze" screensaver. Something else to drive me absolutely bonkers when I'm trying to use my PC.
