That looks balls.
oh yes, lets have an alpha effect just for the sheer hell of it..
this looks like win xp but with different skins and icons. this looks wack and fake, i swear i can download that skin
Just looks like XP with style XP on it :P
Longhorn really isn't about the interface you can see in static screenshots. Every time I see Longhorn screens discussed on an internet forum, it's always "but it looks like XP with a skin".
To say so is missing the point. Please discuss how crap it looks (it really does :lol: ), but please don't just say it's just XP with a skin.
it looks nice, the skin you guys are probabaly referring to is the aeroshell skin.
Me too. You can't tell what it's like unless things are moving. I think it looks ok though.Quote:

If these people do have the longhorn beta installed I want to see;
1. A boot up video
2. Some hard stats, show us task manager or the system details.
Also why are those photos taken from a laptop?
What with all the stuff that has been taken out, what new stuff is there going to be in Longhorn over Windows XP (besides the interface that I hope you can turn off)?
Ahem ;)Quote:
