jdlarson83 Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 where the hell did the sidebar go?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yusuf M. Veteran Posted April 25, 2005 Veteran Share Posted April 25, 2005 I think MS removed it. I may be wrong, it could still be in this build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexecutil Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 It's not in this build.. some say its gone for good but theres no official word on that so far.. I wouldn't be surprised to see it back in a future build. :) Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Live Veteran Posted April 25, 2005 Veteran Share Posted April 25, 2005 The sidebar's fate is undetermined. It may return, or it may return in a different form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Elі Subscriber² Posted April 25, 2005 Subscriber² Share Posted April 25, 2005 Looks like the new search capabilities are truly great, I agree the theme is ugly and the icons too though, but considering this is still far from the final product its very normal and expected from Microsoft, they are not going to show the final bells and whistles till the last minutes guys so relax :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Zeino Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 i dont know if i ever used the sidebar anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Jorge Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 What a disappointment. I know its far from a final build, but still... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mac15 Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Even me a self confessed Mac geek is excited about Longhorn. Sure Tiger is insanely... well its near perfect but I'm always interested in see how the other guys are doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winston Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 this build looks degraded, nothing special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parithon Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 This build is being released because its stable enough for the hardware developers to starting supporting drivers for the OS, its not being released because it has all the bells and whistles and especially not for the eye candy; chances are, the ppl responsible for the UI havn't even touched it yet. Be patient, many more builds will evolve into something great.... I doubt Avalon is even using half its potential in this build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

at0mican Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 I'm sorely dissapointed, is this what Microsoft said was going to be the "wow" new "cool" user interface? It's just looks like another visual style slapped on windows xp. Sure there are probably lots of "under the hood" changes, but the user interface gets a big (N) (N) (N) (N) (N) out of 5 (N) from me. It's still the same old look but in a different shade. I hope beta 1 isn't going to be like this. Terrible, Microsoft, Terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLegendOfMart Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Why bother with eye candy when theres still a LOT of tweaking under the "hood" to do, once the base is complete THEN they will bother about how it looks, i dont see why everyones complaining about something that hasnt been finished and wont for a while.

And since Microsoft has been touting this new improved interface with all the glory and wizz'bang features - then all I see is a screenshot that might as well be windows xp with a third party visual style (poor at that). Should I be impressed?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Montage Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 I don't give a monkeys rear end about "under the hood", I just want it to work. Well, surely the "what makes it just work" stuff is "under the hood". I'd rather have them spend AGES on the engine and getting it to work, then selling me a well polished banger!

DiEMOS Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 at0mican, u should just stfu and not speak. comment when you see the video demo of aero, everybody knew the build will not have the real aero ui. "I don't give a monkeys rear end about "under the hood", I just want it to work" ....uhm yea it will 'JUST' work by it self, keep 'wanting' that. u gotta be a bit dumb to acually think that this is the real aero.

Should I be impressed?! 585826057[/snapback] lol @ you I'm sorry but I don't get how you can think it will work if there is nothing under the hood. It's like wanting a car to go like 200 mph without an engine. And for the eye-candy just wait until they have had some presentations and stuff. Remember that the last winhec build didnt contain any huge amount of eyecandy but the ones they showed up in keynotes and such had. Just wait and see. :D edit: was winhec build last time also not PDC ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ji@nBing Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 I don't know why people are getting all bent out of shape about the GUI. I thought everyone knew that this build would basically be windows XP with a lot of security and stability features added. I had thought people wouldn't be stupid enough to be screaming about the GUI. I guess I was wrong :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
