[Cowpie]

No more pig latin in the My Computer Properties?

Awww.... :(

[j005u]

i keep checking my local pub every5 mins :p

[Premgenius]

looks pretty cool 2 me n better than the previous 1

[mattrobs]

i rekon.. much better than those 401* builds

[suprfli]

i hate the horrible monsterous title bar and giant buttons. between that and the waste of space side bar you have less than 680x480 of space to work with

[XP_01]

Can't they come up with something better after almost 3 years than a modified Luna vs?

Considering the real User Interface may be linked to Aero, I think it is a bit soon to be putting down a User Interface. I think with Windows XP (Whistler) at this stage, the User Interface was 'Watercolour' and we know how that changed...

Found nextl3vel with link to LH_4051 Crack

Watercolour to Luna = A change for the worst

[kyosuken]

watercolour appeared pretty late me thinks, we are still on alpha stage, and it's from a design point of view that it should be looked at. Anyway i must be blind.. but i don't fint it Pantherish.. nor Brushish.. if i can use those therms.. it's plain grey not really fancy... so every mac fans jumping on the "look its like panther" may have sh*t in their eyes (sorry but really if only it's grey than its copying on mac, lol then every grey themes luna too

[pablotrabucco]

Very pretty this built of Longhorn. I waiting in suprnova the BT link... :shifty:

[Tran]

This is but a taste of what to come. Slate and the entire concept of sidebar will obviously be different when 2006 arrives (and we'll witness each transistion by... uh... leaks). And Aero probably won't been seen until (my guess) late 2005 or early 2006 before release date.

[MulletRobZ]

Looks like Aero's been implemented far sooner than I thought.

The GUI looks very nice, but I'm downloading it right now so I can test it for myself. Perhaps I'll disclose even more screenshots, but some of the buttons don't look right. Also, will they be changing the Start Menu again anytime soon?

The 'slate' theme isn't Aero...

[[DGS]]

can we have the Windows Messenger 6 ? can someone extract it or somth?

[Metal Head]

Seems to be borrowing/sharing a lot of features/design features found in MSN8/9.

Download manager, back/forward buttons, large space at top of window (something I'm not fond of) popup blocker, and dashboard/sidebar.

Note: this is not how I normally run MSN - I have the huge icons turned off, and the dashboard at the side of my desktop, not in each window.

Isn't that what XP was meant to be ? :p

:Offtopic:

How come you have the House as the home button, while I have the MSN Butterfly?

[=Syntax=]

more stable than 2003? you're kidding right? damn...

Yeah, I agree. If it was that stable, they wouldn't have pushed the release date back 2 times already.

I have neowin as my homepage, not the default msn, click the arrow on the home button, and choose "Set the Home Page."

[itsnotabigtruck]

Could you post (PNG) screenies of:

1. IE maximized

2. Forward button enabled

3. Menu enabled/disabled/mouseover

4. Toolbar enabled/disabled/mouseover

5. Slider, up-down-box, button, scrollbar, checkbox, option button, listbox, combobox enabled/disabled/mouseover

6. Anything else that would be good to make an IE wrapper that looks like Longhorn :D

[Xero]

longhorn will be a much bigger release then xp, xp was good, but longhorn is like whoa :) plus its like 5 years or so in the making :) it better be good lol

[apa1exakis]

There is a lot more to work on in the OS than stabability. There is a million reasons why they are allowing much more time to develop.

[MEMO.INC]

4051 It's really looking good.

I can't wait for the beta. I think i'll have to go to my university to download from there

(i have reached 2MBps) there...

There is a lot more to work on in the OS than just stabability. There is a million reasons why they are allowing much more time to develop.

[MEMO.INC]

Time to develop is good.

Now there is no excuse for driver compatability when lauched.

That will ensure better assimilation.

With good driver compatability there will be no problems like with xp, I remember several friends wanted to install but most couldn't 'cause drivers where unavailable.

I hope they release aero soon to devepopers (Hope it leaks too :) ) so they can make the best compatability and smoothness in the rendering.
