No problem! Actually, I am rather impressed at the amount of effort going into re-creating the icons. It's interesting to watch people recreate them using entirely different toolsets. I'm happy that people like them enough to go to the trouble. I don't mind mentioning that I was one nervous guy when it came time for Xp to debut. I figured if people hated the icons, I'd never hear the end of it...

As far as the legality of all this goes, I really don't know. It's all copyrighted, certainly, but it's not my copyright to protect. We were hired, and MS owns the rights.

As far as World Of Aqua goes, they take me quite a long time to do. More than ever, now that I am refining my technique. If it makes you feel better, the WOA3 folder took me almost four months to do, with a whole lot of going back and starting over! I'm still not sure I like it! It just always bugged me that Apple's OS X folder icon throws all the HI guidelines right out the window... I'm constantly trying to come up with a good one that adheres to the rules.

I'm making the final icons for WOA4 as I write this, so you don't have long to wait. The set is not large, however there is some pretty maniacal stuff in there, so I think folks will enjoy it...

Thanks for the Holiday wishes, and the same to you and yours!

Hey nice to meet u, its exciting to me meeting developers in the windows team...

it got me when u said ur were nervous once xp coming to be debut, but hell i loved ur work since the first time i saw it in the whistler builds it was sooo user friendly .... i failed grade 10 because ur icons lol!!!.. no joke , i downloaded those icons ppl extracted, and just replaced my whole windows ME to those icons spent days hacking every file and didnt bother studying for exams haha... yeah.. but is it ok asking a question... are there auditers, who audit ur icons...

why did some icons get scraped, for example the recycle bin got changed

some of the explorer icons got changes, like the search icon, the up directory icon, etc...

i mean ethically do u have to design icons with a full intentional meaning behind it?

Thanks!

Here's a few I found in my travels. Keep in mind they're not mine, so if anyone wants them removed, say so. I make no claim to be the creator of these icons. These PNGs have been acquired from various sources, and are all believed to be in the public domain for personal use only. A screenshot is below, click on it to download the package.

    • Less powerful than a PS5 at twice the price! I wonder if they use that for marketing? Totally DoA.

    • How does it compare to the "SeeStar S30 Pro" and the "Vespera PRO 2"?
    • Indeed. And note that those units are MUCH cheaper than this new Steam Machine...ahem.
