FreqFace Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 The guy in the picture looks like he has a big roll of spit going down the middle of his chin. And yes i'm aware it's facial hair. 586480017[/snapback] LOL! I thought that too, took me a few seconds to figure out what it actually was :rofl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Dee Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 no, i think that is just to do with solitare, because if you look at the other pictures of the main desktop, it isnt there. 586480494[/snapback] No its a document of the Vista feature list: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y_notm Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 No its a document of the Vista feature list: 586481600[/snapback] Your right that it doesn't have to do with solitaire, and I don't think its the Sidebar, but that screen appears to be different than the window under solitaire. I thought the same thing at first but the two appear to be different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightRider Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Two questions: Will Beta 2 be available to the public or just to subscribers, etc.? And will the DWM have the 3D windows thing that 5048 had and beta 1 didnt? I didnt mean the alt-tab. i meant the thing where you can make a window 3D. i'll find a screenshot sometime of it in 5048...

From the looks of Beta 2 Preview (which is rumored to be 5219, which I'm starting to believe is the PDC 2005 Build), yes, those cosmetic niceties 3D Alt-Tab, TaskSwitcher will be in there to play with.

Tran Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Yup, should be around Sept 13th-16th, thats when the PDC is :)The pre-conferences are 11th and 12th ;) If it leaks before or on those days we know its someone @ Microsoft leaking it, not beta testing monkeys :) 586480326[/snapback] September 13-16, eh?

Stunna Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 they mentioned something about doing away with folders and files what are they talking about? do they mean virtual folders? i like the virtual folders idea but i still want the old way of having folders with diff directories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evolution Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 they mentioned something about doing away with folders and files what are they talking about? do they mean virtual folders? i like the virtual folders idea but i still want the old way of having folders with diff directories 586482755[/snapback] You'll actually have both which will make things more confusing :p Certain functions will work with the regular folders and not with the Virtual Folders (I don't think you can even save things to it)... Virtual Folders are basically XML documents. They place different files following certain criteria (like shortcuts) i.e. author into a "Virtual Folder"; a container that holds shortcuts.
