Nomad_ Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 What happend to the download manager? The longhorn PCD build 4051 had one. Will It be back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benplace Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 And the sidebar, and the new device manager, etc.... Seems they stripped alot out to get this Beta out. Weird way to handle things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y_notm Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 They haven't been RI'ed into winmain yet. MS has a new policy on features in that new features have to be pretty far along in development to be added into winmain (I believe this is correct, someone clarify if it isn't) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freak_power Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 4051 Build looked better to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chavo Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 The sidebar and the dock are UI disasters. MS has realized this and pulled this horrific code out from Vista. If you want a painful UI existence download your own crappy dock or sidebar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uniacidz Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 The download manager as stated is in development and so, for the beta release, they have withdrawn it. Only the main developed/stable features are included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel Blue01 Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 So will it be in final? And not look so much like Firefox? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commodore Max Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 So will it be in final? And not look so much like Firefox? 586315137[/snapback] Only time will tell, this is after all a beta... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreqFace Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 And not look so much like Firefox? 586315137[/snapback] You're joking, right? You're saying a small box with a list of files looks like Firefox's download manager..? It's just a window... showing some files... how else do you want it to shown? All these miniscule comparisons to Firefox are getting ridiculous... am I the only one who's thinking this? And I'm glad to see IE with a download manager myself.

Kr0z Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Just wait for Beta 2 to be released, maybe they took out the download manager in Beta 1 because it wasn't ready or they may be redesigning it. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowPHP Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 I never knew about this in any build of LH. Very interesting and have often wished it was in XP because the current 'Save As' download box is horrible and takes up too much space on my taskbar! (a whole 1 space!!!)

EduardValencia Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 it will be included in the final release,it's in development right now ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
todd Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Why hasn't anyone pointed out the fact that they restarted work on Longhorn since the 4xxx builds? IIRC, they ditched what they had and started over based on Server 2003 with SP1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
