it looks awesome, i really hope that, that IS the RC1. The Boot Up screen looks legit and the welcome screen too. In addition, Control Panel looks quite new (as far as I remember they recently changed all the icons). The only thing is, where is the back and foward buttons and the min, max and close buttons, we can barely seem them and they dont look that good. Furthermore, why would somebody take pictures like that, when obviously the camera was moved, so why isnt there a straight shot of the screen. Perhaps its the basic theme or something.

wait.. wtf?? some parts look real nice. I hope its a taste of things to come in RC1.

Oh, and who cares when Rihanna's album got released. They got ABBA there.

EDIT: oh and about the camera angles, either ms is screwing with us, or the person taking the pics was doing so forcibly. (like someone was preventing him/her from doin that)

There are many ways to see if it's vista:

-Cursor

-Blurred windows (WindowBlinds can't blur yet)

-Sidebar

-...

But still what are those bootscreens and the logon? they look quite new to me.

they're fake look at how badly the person taking the images is trying to hide the start icon ... white theme are you kidding me after this long... the my music or whatever look like the old major new user-friendly look they were trying to do with 4xxx and pre beta 1 5048 area builds. also the sidebar just looks like that freeware one you can download modified to look like 4074's sidebar so basicly im saying no this isnt RC1 by far if anything its some mod of XP or early longhorn build someones taken the time to waste re skinning ir or somthing....

well we cant see the cursors clearly and isnt there a sidebar for XP.

Though, why would somebody waste their time on fakes like that...maybe they are concept shots. Even though, The boot up looks very good, even though in the earlier builds, when u go to msconfig you click NO GUI BOOT the Boot screen looks similiar to that one, only faded.

    • 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!
