So I saw quite a few people liked my Windows 7 concepts, and well now win7 is out and everyone is happy.

Microsoft has started to work in Windows 8 the one that we all hope will bring Longhorn back to life, so with this in mind let me introduce you to my new concept.

I hope you all like this.

I like your work! But don't you think Windows 8 will have a different GUI? You've made some improvements but it still looks a lot like Win 7 (actually I think your taskbar is more vista-ish than 7ish).

I'm into constructing future OS concepts too, so I'll finish my Win8 concepts and publish them here. I've made the OS look a lot different, though.

we don't "all" wish to bring longhorn back to life. and your concepts aren't really any different from win7. I suppose all these bad "concepts" are compliments to microsoft in a wierd way, in that they've done such a good job that third parties can't come up with anything better anymore.

Lol, I've found that too. Never bothered about skinning Vista or 7. It looks fine the way it is and I see no need to worry about slowing down the system or having visual bugs etc etc. On the other hand, I like creativity. Aren't Microsoft re-writing Windows from the ground up for 8? Kinda the reason why 7 had to be a major success.

I do like the login screens though SaT117. Did you plan for the dp to spin around like in the Longhorn concept? Not a big fan of the borders though especially with the close, minimise, maximise buttons, they don't really fit in. Anyways, keep it up!

no! just no!

why start from the zero huh?!

e.g. they did rewrite significant part of xp windows with vista ,it broke many things ....people kept complaining and bitching

an OS from the ground up cant see that happening.

all they need is similar step like from Vista >> 7

i just hope microsoft sit standards for multi-gpu configurations with next release

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By Legend20 · Posted

      You are clueless. The updates are done in the background so the next time you open Edge the updates are applied automatically. There is no need to close all your tabs. Just keep browsing like you normally do. Clearly you don't use Edge and are just one of those haters that complain for the sake of complaining.

    • Windows Server gets DNS over HTTPS (DoH) support

      By Legend20 · Posted

      Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.

      Now disable that stupid OneDrive backup request when Windows starts please. So unbelievably frustrating to only have “remind me later” instead of “no and never ask me again”
