Not bad.... a bit to much glass if you ask me......

Try something that does not look like vista at all. Base designs off window blinds skins (with out coping them) and make thinner cleaner lines. Also I think it may be cool if you base some designs off the old longhorn bulids....

Nice job on the concept pics! Looks quite reasonable.

Unfortunately - and this is no offense to your work - I hate Vista's Aero look, so I hope they make something more unified and usable with Windows 7.

May i ask what you dont like about it? just wondering?

I dont like the XP UI. and i think you can understand why.....

Vista? I guess hes afraid he'll get finger prints on the glass :lol:

Haha, i love the vista glass and i just hate the XP ui, can't use it anymore. I'm forced to put windowblinds on any XP user account i have, ever since i heard about it :p. Not that i use XP anymore anyway.

Yeah where did you get that wallpaper, it is rather amazing =]

It actually looks nice, nice job. :) Try making the window borders slimmer, too thick and I believe its one of things end users didn't like in Vista. I like the Gadgets especially the Media Player (which I hope will actually be back in for Win7) and the Alarm Clock. :)

I like simple and professional. The latest home-user Windows to do it correctly was Windows 2000. While XP and Vista have "Classic" themes - which I use, by the way - their default look seems bloated.

XP wasn't so bad. Eventually, people figured out how to hack the themes and make thinner start menus and window frames. I'm sure the same goes for Vista, but the fact that you need to modify the system in order for it to be professionally usable (or simply uncluttered) just doesn't sit right with me. It's like Windows wants you to know its there. With older versions and other operating systems, functionality was never sacrificed for the sake of eye candy.

Just my 2 cents.
