They just picked sept 22 hoping ODST's release would overshadow them postponing it again. :rolleyes:

edit: look at this notice from their site:

'Enable Desktop' is disabled.

The desktop icons are not functional with M1, please continue to use the desktop provided by Windows Explorer.

Taskbar buttons may overflow and not be accessible.

Taskbar buttons do not turn white when activated and may do so only intermittently.

Clicking an active taskbar button does not minimize it.

The taskbar does not populate once Cairo is started. You must activate any open applications for them to appear in the taskbar.

Items may disappear from the Windows taskbar when running Cairo. (Windows 7 users- You can avoid this by selecting the Always Combine option in the Windows Taskbar Control Panel.)

The White Menu Bar option is not available.

Not all tray icons will appear in the Cairo system tray area.

Newly installed or uninstalled programs may or may not show up in the AppGrabber until Cairo is restarted.

Many items are incomplete in this build.

whats ODST ?

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

whats ODST ?

Halo 3: ODST. It's a game for the Xbox 360.

Anyway, this looks interesting and impressive for a "hobby project".

The concepts always look nice, but I'm not crossing my fingers.

This seems like Vapourware to me, they where promising an Alpha release not that long after Vista RTMed. Nearly 3 years later, we are still waiting for it. Taking 3 years to get a releasable alpha makes Microsoft's XP to Vista progress look speedy :laugh:

[Rob2687]

Wasn't there a leaked version not too long ago?

A little more time and it might just pass Duke Nukem Forever. :rofl:

wasn't that just for their M1 build and not the public alpha?

IT was in development for so long that nobody cares anymore :p

[zhangm Supervisor]

Expect more delays for them to make it compatible with Windows 7.

And more delays for them to make it compatible with Windows 8...

[Rudy]

man this stupid thing is back? I thought it died a long time ago

[SojIrOu]

Hmm so when will they release the beta? When Windows 8 comes out?

[neoxphuse]

I've heard about this two years ago. This thing will never get release and they're just stealing money from donators. Give it a break already and just say it's not going to happen.

[Draconian Guppy]

hmmmm I call fail. Been going on to long...

Don't worry, they're going to release version 1.0 eventually. Two days after 'Duke Nukem Forever' is on sale.

.... oh wait ....

I remember. I haven't even made an account on their forum, but I've been going to their website once a week for the past year being litestep is a bitch with Windows 7.

This. Is. Win

so it will come out :rofl: !

[Bioran]

At this rate, the BETA will be out by the time Windows 8 arrives, and the RC will probably come out in time for Windows 9, and final for Windows 10. :rofl:

[XerXis]

always called fail on this project, the "project managers" always were a bunch of arrogant nobodys who had their own ideas about how to manage an IT project. Normally that wouldn't be such a bad thing, lots of hobby projects are run this way and people learn from them. However I lost all respect from them when they started accepting donations and remained a closed source project. Those people giving donations have been ripped of imho.

[meriam]

Do not under estimate such work, you might hear someday that Microsoft bought them for millions. I personally think they're doing a great job.

LOL you made my day :)

[Darrian]

If this had come out before Windows 7 I'd be excited, but now? Meh. I'll still check it out and see if it's worth a damn, but I expect I'll be just as happy with explorer now.
