New Longhorn Screenshot!

[Isaiah]

Maybe, finally, a real screenshot of Windows Longhorn


screeny


What do you think? Real? or Fake?

seems pretty fishy considering its not a pixel for pixel screenshot, also they have their url and stuff photochopped on there, kinda shows that maybe they were already photochopping some things.

besides, why do people continue to celebrate an OS that more and more tries to take away your freedom?

cool! the new version of communism is out!! everyone dance for joy!!

It's more capitalism incarnate. Exploitation for the sake of money.

I think the screenshot looks like XP with a face lift.

It is fake. Come on, "Longhorn XP?"

I willnever use any OS with a GUI as fugly as XPs.

Great, so now instead of Fisher Price preschool, we get Fisher Price elementary.

Have a look at the "Change visual preferences of your PC" window and at the transparent toolbar on the right. Where is the rest of the window gone?

I'd like to know exactly who told Microsoft that users like toolbars, start menus and windows that take over the whole of the screen. Operating systems support multitasking for a reason.

Microsoft's target market doesn't.

I have heard a rumor that Longhorn will use a new filesystem? can anyone confirm this? (like i said, RUMOR!)

There is talk that Longhorn will incorporate a database-like file system, based possibly on SQL 2003. Of course, they have been talking about a database-type file system since about the time of Windows 95, and nothing has come of it.
