er... i'm afraid it is pretty close to what Aero Glass should look like. That is, the AERO(caps) part of it.

Of course it will be changeable. Rumours say that uxtheme will be unlocked by default. Also, since these are DirectX shaders, you can change them with the right amount of hacking. Say... more blurring, frosted look, anything you like.

i hope i'm not the only one who thinks the gui is ugly. the transparency is pretty nifty, but the colors are all over the board and they don't match very well. i think it also has a bloated look, but that's just me. vista better have something like visual styles to change how it looks.

Nope, I also think that, design-wise, it's nothing special at all.

But again, I really don't think that this will be the final GUI - I'm sure that MS hasn't shown anything yet.

has anyone any problems logging on to connect.microsoft.com? For the last couple days i keep trying to log on and then it always wants me to register, I have already registered before AND taken the beta survey. If i try to reregister it tells me there is already someone regisitered with that email! WTF?

incorrect, it's being released in waves to testers.

anyone know if this has winfs?

I said the people who have Pending aren't getting it today. Meaning in another wave?

If that's the case, when do these new 'waves' happen?

There are threads all over about this, use search ;)

I'm confused about something. I thought some of you'll said that Longhorn Beta 1 wouldn't be labeled as Vista... but a screenshot off of Microsoft's website has it listen in the OS as "Windows Vista Beta 1". Is this just internal or will it be that way in the build we're downloading today?

    • Microsoft releases Visual Studio Code 1.124 with smarter autonomous AI agents by Paul Hill Microsoft has just released Visual Studio Code 1.124 with a focus on faster agent workflows and improved agent autonomy. Microsoft outlined the following features as the key items in this update: Autopilot: Autopilot, enabled by default, is now smarter to determine when a task is truly done. Background sessions: Quickly send a request in the background and keep composing the next session. Session navigation: Search, jump, and step through agent sessions with the keyboard. Browser history: Revisit and search pages you've already opened in the integrated browser. With VS Code 1.124, Microsoft has enabled Autopilot by default. For those that don’t know, Autopilot is a chat permission level that you can pick to give agents permission to take initiative and act autonomously, without needing explicit user approval for each action. Also related to Autopilot, Microsoft introduced Advanced Autopilot, which changes how Autopilot decides when to keep iterating and when to finish. This helps you get more complete results without manually monitoring loops. This feature works using a small utility model that reads a transcript of the chat and decides when the task is done. Another new feature in 1.124 is the Agents window, which lets you easily explore, iterate on, and review agent sessions across projects and machines. Previously, starting a new agent session meant waiting for it to load before you could compose the next one. With this update, sessions can be requested in the background. This VS Code update also brings session navigation updates to switch between them more quickly. The update also lets you reload or reopen the Agents window so that it no longer loses your layout, so you will land back where you left off. If you use the integrated browser in VS Code, you will notice that it now retains the history of visited pages. Suggestions will now show when typing in the URL bar and can be managed by using Ctrl+H within a browser tab. The browser now also lets you customize the toolbar more; just right-click on the toolbar area to the right of the URL input. Finally, the browser has faster agentic text entry. Another improvement is experimental enterprise-managed Copilot plugin policies that allow admins to centrally control which chat plugins and plugin marketplaces are available to developers. If you have VS Code installed, 1.124 should install automatically, or you'll get a prompt. If you don't have it installed, get it here.
