Sluter Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 (edited) I just downloaded a copy of that scope thing which leaked out of Microsoft, off a german irc channel. :ninja: Its really cool. Although it is having some problems synchronizing with my Outlook. Alerts also requires some kinda internal access. :( I found an article on it here... http:// research.microsoft.com/adapt/scope/AVI2002-Scope-13.htm Anyone else here using scope?? Do you think it might show up later on in Longhorn also??? Edit: Removed irc info. :whistle: Edited June 29, 2003 by Sluter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sluter Posted June 29, 2003 Author Share Posted June 29, 2003 Its a productivity kinda app. New way from Microsoft to know whats going on emails, alerts, etc. Theres a write up about it here http://research.microsoft.com/adapt/scope/...02-Scope-13.htm as I posted above. The scope site at microsoft has on-line demo as-well as a link to a download now, but the download is internal link only. Try the on-line demo or look on IRC for the actual preview. Its from that same Microsoft research that did the side show, the sidebar kinda app. I hope something like scope shows up in Longhorn too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxicfume Veteran Posted June 29, 2003 Veteran Share Posted June 29, 2003 looks like an interesting concept, but I think they just need to get the UI sleek and right, this app could be big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

memNOC Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 Anyone else think this looks like the symbol used by some very bad people in the late 1930's - 1940's?http://research.microsoft.com/adapt/scope/...es/image019.jpg the swastika? it was actually a 'good luck' sign way before the nazis used it.. just something to think about.. :) and this little app looks as interesting as it is ugly.. im sure tho by the time its implemented in the Longhorn GUI it will look countless times better, and be countless more practical.. this will surely be one of the many brand new useful features coming out of LH..
