Why Was Longhorn 5203 Removed?

Tuesday, July 26, 2005 by Sventekoz | Discussion: WindowBlinds

Does anyone know why this skin has been removed from the site? Is there a problem with it we should know about?

or maybe, microsoft is afraid the market for Windows Vista will be lesser than expected because WB5, which i hope will be release very very soon, can support
Vista-like transparenscies
. thus, users of XP won't be swayed as easily because
people will quickly discover that these new "innovations" in Vista are actually possible on XP without a significant loss of system resources
.
this is a more of a speculation anyway.

or is Microsoft afraid that WB will steal the thunder when Vista will be out in the market thus the
selective
removal request to WC library?... you see, Vista-like skins will have proliferated over a year when Vista will be released. Maybe MS doesn't like to harbor the notion that "Transparency fever" won't be much celebrated in this new OS when it comes out of its shell.

Well done Brad. I have to tip my hat off to you for such decision.

I agree with Brad. He has logic in his statements.

Congrats!

And KoL:
I would be honored to have MS selectively remove my skin because of its accuracy.
