+Anarkii Subscriber² Posted September 7, 2006 Subscriber² Share Posted September 7, 2006 Well I got thinking when I was reading though threads here, that alot of people like the look of Vista, and some hate it... so a thought occured to me that hasnt been thought of yet... ... why dont we, as users of the Microsoft OS, design in photoshop the look of a post Vista, post Vienna Microsoft Operating System.. ? For the sake of continuality, we can call it "Windows Rome" with a tagline "Windows wasnt built in a day"... but yea, it would be really interesting to see what everyone can come up with. So I put the following towards you all... Photoshop the next next gen of windows environment. Lets have say... Plain Desktop My Computer My Documents Control Panel Internet Explorer 9 or 10 Media Player Mail Program and a messenger program So lets all close our eyes, and imagine what the future holds for us all and see what we can come up with... if you want ideas, just take elements what you like about current and or past operating systems and create something new and original... looking forward to seeing what you all come up with :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambroos Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Microsoft should start an expression contest, submit creations made with Expression Web/Graphic/Interactive designer. Would be nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backdrifter Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Is it okay if we explain our UI enviroment mainly with text?

+Anarkii Subscriber² Posted September 11, 2006 Author Subscriber² Share Posted September 11, 2006 Yeh feel free to just write what you think for ideas if you cant photoshop it... the idea of this thread is to provoke ideas we might be able to actually send to microsoft so we can have something we'd actually enjoy to use, where we boot it up and say "COOL" every time :) Personally i LOVE the blackcomb video posted back in 91... i think its actually the financial analyst meeting but ideas from that taken and put into Windows Rome would freakin rock :p Anyway, looking forward to seeing some concepts :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
