Just a new way to crash my computer

Any hints as to when the 3d hardware accelerated GUI will be enabled?

 

[TommyVercetti]

Now where might I get that? Which newsgroup?

 

[bpctech]

the screenshots look exactly like xp. I heard longhorn was supposed to be a huge windows change, not just another facelift...

 

[TommyVercetti]

The installation screens look a whole lot like Windows 2003.

WTF. Alpha/Beta leak, morons. Don't expect anything revolutionary until RC1.

- M4H

 

[spanky]

i leaked about half an hour ago. too much soda.

 

[JetBlack69]

Looks rather ugly.

 

[Hubris]

Bleh. Looks like crap.

 

[Electrode]

It's HIDEOUS! :Q:disgust:

 

[Linux23]

niiiiice.

 

[Goosemaster]

ughhhh....dear god I hope the metallic theme isn't in the final v.

 

[mithrandir2001]

Sh!t. Might as well just buy a Mac. Fewer viruses too.

 

[EyeMWing]

Too much DRM. I'll manage my own rights, thank you.

 

[Acanthus]

looks like a$$.

Looks like some good improvements in IE7: pop-up blocker and download manager.

Isn't that done via the taskbar grouping since WinXP?

This isn't really big news. A few other earlier builds of the OS have been leaked also. Longhorn final will be great but that isn't due till last 2005 or later. I am sure this early build is very buggy and unstable like has been said about other releases of Longhorn.

 

[ed21x]

wow, thats alot of GUI, how much RAM do you need to run that?!?!

 

[dowxp]

i thought longhorn builds were always available via usenet ... . .

 

[GoingUp]

Looks more mac like everytime

To all you complaining about how the OS looks:

I bet you guys all got the $10 blue keyboard cause it "looks cooler"

The colours of the GUI do not make or break the OS. I'm sure you'll be able to skin/theme it, and there'll probably be a "Windows Classic" option too.


What I'd really like to do is run X on a win machine.

Am I the only one here that minimizes as much of the toolbars and navigation buttons as I can to maximize viewing area for data or am I a dying breed? The back and address bar in IE7 in those pics takes up like 15-20% of the screen real estate!
