If Aero is just a set of guide lines for the GUI all of that could be content for Aero... No ? I pray that we might get a modern looking OS I'm very tired of Windows looking like... Windows. :)

Aero can be labelled a "feature", since it includes the new wizard interface, notifications, font and phrasal tone. From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Aero

Aero Glass, Aero Standard and Aero Basic are the "contents" of Aero.

Please speak English. Thank you. :)

RC 1 released today. Great news. Close enough I guess. I guess they'll be working on those bugs for allong time so why not now. It will be interesting to see what changes/fixes they've made forceware drivers that were causing some BSOD and blank screens in 5536. Did anyone get Avast Home antivirus working in 5536. Anyway great news and time to really start working on the integration of drivers and software.

Unfortunetly, I have some bad news for you guys. :(

Firstly, let me start by apologizing to the Neowin community, and Longhornblogs.com on the outrage my concepts have created.

Yes, these concepts belong to me. They are not affiliated with Microsoft in any way. If you hang out at the Web and Graphic Design forums, you might've noticed a post made by me about a month ago, the post had in total of 3 concepts. These concepts were dubbed Windows Vi, after some critisism many people wanted a skin made out of them. A person, who is not a member here at neowin, contacted me that he would be happy to code a skin for me, since I have no skinning experience. I kindly accepted his offer, the initial idea was that the skin would please those who were fans of the old Longhorn days. The concepts you see here were created, as I said before the concepts were heavily based on longhorn, and had a touch of Vista added onto them.

As you know, offers with strangers simply just never get done, one is always busy, and around a week after the project was just off. Although the concepts were seen by a some people, and they were once hosted at imageshack, they might be still around if you look for them. After that, I just forgot about the whole thing and simply moved on.

Today, I come on Neowin and see this link, and was just shocked to see my concepts being posted as a "New Vista UI", "Aero Diamond", or just whatever. I will try to get in contact with the person who has posted the screenshots, I'm not very familiar with Flickr so is there any way I can get the email of the account that was registered in? I will update you as soon as possible.

From what I can see, the concepts are mostly in their original form except the person has added a "Build Number" at the corner of the screen.

Again, I apologize for the confusion my concepts have created. If you want, later today I will try to find the CD where I stored the conceptsfor your viewing pleasure :p

Thanks again. ;)

    • I'm not unblocking my camera for this crapola. Sorry, Google.
    • Ummmm that is what is it supposed to do. Just turn if off in settings if you do not want it analyzing your open tabs. Chrome does the same thing with Gemini. Sarfari will do the samething after Apple's AI and even more so with the release of their 27 versions that is now powered by Googles LLM/ML models. Understanding why it is doing it and how it can help you vs jumping to some conspiracy theroy is a much better approach. As long as it can be turned off, all is good. Yes the default should be off but the a lot of people would never discover these features.
    • Just another reason (aside from many others) not to use Edge. Firefox 153.0b5 DEx64 has a similar feature added recently in prior builds that I will turn off at some point when I get around to it. It's the new "Something looks suspicious" page that pops up here and there. It cleverly hides itself between web pages that I've actually visited; as a result, you know, of selecting a web page and telling the browser where to go. The interesting thing is that it does not produce these warnings from pages that I, as the only intelligent user of the browser in my system, have ever directed the browser to open! What seems to be happening is that the browser looks at all the goofy ad links on a web page I do actually open and selects one that "looks suspicious" and then creates the "something looks suspicious" web page, which is neatly inserted, as mentioned, between web pages my RB ("real brain") has directed the browser to load in a session. The thing is, I usually look at links I am considering to follow before I ask the browser to load them, and in cases I have noticed where the link does indeed look suspicious, most of the time I will choose to not follow the link at all. Doesn't everyone do this or something similar? I am picky about what I voluntarily load... (I don't like links that start off fine, with a site designaiton that seems normal enough but then is followed by indecipherable alphanumeric strings many, many lines long, etc. I tend to reject those because they look suspicious. They may not be, but I don't care... I'll stay with Firefox, of course, if for no other reason than they usually let you turn off the junk you don't like. And because it isn't Edge... But at some point Microsoft will come to realize that putting your bookmarks on the left side is a Good Thing for a lot of people, just as Microsoft discovered when it had the bright idea of nailing the Windows taskbar to the bottom of the screen, when for decades Microsoft browsers had left that placement up to the user. They have finally reversed the obscenity of that decision. Finally.
    • Google was using the old CATPCHAs data to train their LLMs. What is the say they won't use this camera data of users to train their LLM? these companies need some strict regulations!
