Longhorn Video!!!


Recommended Posts

I agree - it VERY MacOS X like. MS could have a chance at getting sued over this, if indeed its genuine.

I personally thing its got a good chance of being genuine, but id say the odds are 60/40.

I do like the new window functions tho :)

It actually looks real to me, comparing it to that old blackcomb video. Draging to the trash can does seem kinda neat actually... It's a nice way to close all the windows instead of clicking each one while holding down ctrl.

More importantly, you can see the bar on the left side of the menus. This can only mean one thing..... Windows is gonna get menus like Office XP has!! w00t

PS- Only MS would use the clasic scheme to start out with. A faker would at least use the new XP theme. MS is probably working on the base of the GUI first with no skins.

The new window function? You can't even tell what it does! What are the 3 seperate windows it splits into for example?

It looks like they press a 'duplicate" button and a clone of the windows appears on the desktop that you can switch between.

i dont like the way it looks...i also thought that they were making an all 3d gui? or was i just dreaming?

rumors... ms had made a whole 3D environment for a version of windows and rumors began that it was going to be used in longhorn...paul thorutt found out it was false....check out his win super site for more on it. ms is just goin for a better gui not totally 3d yet.

That does appear to be fake as with the very smooth graphics and a taskbar very similer to the Apple OS X one, why is it not in the Luna theme, but then again, it could be added on later during the building phase.

Is it just me, or is that video EXTREMELY reminiscent of Mac OS X.  Dragging windows to the trash bin? Please.

It does look genuine though.

Looks real, but you never know, though. If it is indeed real, I have a lot to look forward to.

The suspicious thing about it is the cursor: it looks slightly different from the standard one.
