George P Global Moderator Posted March 5, 2007 Global Moderator Share Posted March 5, 2007 I like how MS lets you change the glass color in Vista, but that should also fully change the taskbar color for those who don't like the dark tone to it.

George P Global Moderator Posted March 12, 2007 Global Moderator Share Posted March 12, 2007 ^^^ Wow, that's pretty good, but I think it's just too much info and complicated stuff that MS won't show to users. Going with the Vista installer as a base, they give you very little if any info like that about hd partitions and so forth, aside from letting you pick where to install it. But then after that it's just a bar at the bottom. I like the idea of the fingerprint though, maybe that'd work best in the future insted of just a key and pesky WGA/Activation. Though people won't like to give that to MS, but maybe they wouldn't. I beleave that your fingerprint could generate a unique ID# like the Hardware ID#'s we get today, and that could be tied to your product key. That's one hell of a way to stop pirating, and would kill the need for WGA, for the most part anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People harp on about the police storing your fingerprints all the time, so I doubt their going to willingly give MS their fingerprint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nashy Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 My idea was more of a USB key with a fingerprint reader. USB key contains the registration info and when you scan your print, its is attached to the cd-key within the USB device. MS wouldn't physically see it, or have access to it, the only thing they see is a registered CD key. If you want to reinstall, you need to scan your finger with the USB key again, so it knows its you, it then allows the CD Key to be used, then registeres the key to MS. Dunno if it'd work, or be practical, I was just thinking outside the square. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nashy Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Sorry about the quality. You know how hard it is to use Fireworks on a laptop touchpad? Wow... it sucks. This screen shows the screen after you would have scanned your fingerprint, or entered your password to login. Sorry, I didn't put a picture or anything, I will tomorrow, or something. Can't make it look anygood on laptop. The following screen is what will come up after login. the orb fade's in, and remembers it's position. The user could move it around, change its colour setting etc. The only colour change that can't be made is the white glow around the windows logo. When you click or hover over (that would be a setting) it gives you your options on where you want to go. It also will change the glow to advise of any problems. eg. new security updates not installed, no virus check etc. would glow red until rectified. Most can be turned off, however, critical updates would remain red until updated. From here, voice control is also activated. no need to train, it will just work. What ya's think so far, what should I play with or add. What should I mockup to give an example of what we would like to nee in Nashy's WindowsRome? open windows? internet? settings? what?
