Microsoft "Longhorn" Discussion

i have no clue what the rules are honestly.

in fact i was joking with my previous post.

it looks to me that piles here is an automatic way of storing things.... say you got hundreds of files, you can select an option to have it seperated into 3 groups by their first letter. this makes sense to me, but i am just merely assuming :confused:
 
I hope y'all are aware that the dark grey stuff is just for the build they handed out to developers. the real thing is going to be more like this...

there's a bunch of other stuff at http://www.winsupersite.com/reviews/pdc2003.asp Just so's you know and don't go misunderestimating the boys in redmond... ;)
 
Nice pics... But soooo much like Aqua 10.1 :p Will they tone them down, too? ;) Oh! And the video links must be for something that I don't care to have... WMP9, perhaps? :rolleyes:

I'm not underestimating... but I'm not suffering from envy either. Almost everything is already available in Mac OS X. What isn't will most certainly be in there by the time Longhorn hits the shelves !
 
Oh, I'm pi**ed off now :mad:

Isn't there anything new in Longhorn windows can show off when it comes to the GUI that has not been ripped off from OSX (though they do it rather badly)?

Ok, I mean something good!?
Not one simple cool innovation that we've never seen before?

It's not that I've just noticed that Microsoft usually does these things (copy) but...this time it just got to me.

Grrrrrr!

Longhorn is so far off that it's a joke -- ms is shooting for a late 2005 release (that 2 years), but in all reality it won't happen. They are trying so hard to make longhorn a huge shift from the normal computing environment that the engineers working on it just keep fighting about what they should actually do I heard. Somewhere on the news it said that ms completely scrapped almost all they had relating to the filesystem recently and decided to start over. I wonder how many more times that something like that will happen :^)
 
Windows? Beautiful and professional? I wouldn't describe it with either word!

Ooo, transparentifcation!
