New Longhorn screenshots

A look at the future of Windows

Tuesday, March 22, 2005 by Frogboy | Discussion: WinCustomize News

WinSupersite has recently updated the Longhorn release schedule along with provided some new screenshots of Aero. The first beta of Longhorn is May 2005 though there is some speculation about how much of Avalon and Aero will be implemented in that beta. The "big beta" is scheduled for this Fall.

i don't know, i think it's a hopeless cause to have such strong colors in an os. i think OSX had something going by employing mostly whites and other soft colors. it's just intrinsicly more appealing to most people. either way, too much color and not enough professionalism. (PS, i agree with the guy that said it looks like itunes on drugs)

I do at least think it's neat that the clear part isn't just see through, but seems to blur the background as well.

Does anyone have any links to any older styles of XP? (The styles changes that it went through.)

It is unlikely that the final version will look just like those screenshots but they do look good. And you already can do some minor skinning on it, at least in 4074.
