longhorn-zorized

[bacta]

anyone running longhorn yet? how scary is it?

I'm a chicken so I just customized my desktop to make it look like it.


that's with a package that changed the visual style and the folders and file types + winamp glass skin (I have a longhorn one but doesnt look as good) + trillian pro 3.0 longhorn skin and longhorn interface + rainlender.

I'm pretty sure that windows isn't using docks yet, but I can't live without mine so longhorn objectdock as well.

I was beta testing Longhorn early last year, but quit after a while because it was just like XP. I'm sure they've added many new features since I had it, but to me it was basically like having a 3rd service pack on XP or something.

They gave out very early versions at a developers conference some guys I know went to.

EDIT: That picture in the first post definitely does NOT look anything like the version of longhorn I had...

Looks like OS X shat out a Windows OS.

LOL - my thoughts exactly. Loading the 10.4 Tiger on Friday

whoa your taskbar is crazy

Kimbal has dock envy.

Here are some pics of Longhorn from the WinHEC conference. This build looks almost identical to the one I was beta testing a year ago. Don't know if that is good or bad, but one big difference that I notice is that they removed the side bar that was in the version that I had. It was basically a taskbar that went up the right side of your comp and had a large clock on the side. It was kinda pointless, so I guess that's why the removed it. Anyway, at this stage Longhorn still looks like XP Service Pack 3 to me. Here are the pics, you can be the judge...

If you go to http://www.winsupersite.com/ (where I got these pics) the owner of the site has a review of this build. He mentions the big taskbar being deleted I believe. Note: the version I had was something like 4725 and these pics are of 5048.

wow, that's worth 200 bucks

Yep, hence the reason I'm moving to Apple when I buy my next computer.

Yeah, looks exactly like XP, except different folder settings. Waste of money.

I just prefer a clean desktop, & don't want to have to get back to the desktop to start my apps.

Ah, something like this?


Just kiddin' with ya.

Software actually costs money?

When it's worth paying for, yeah.
