Windows Longhorn Screenshots Available Online

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the because-bill-says-so dept.

The Fred writes "I found this website that seems to have screenshots for the next version of windows. Everything from a new start button, extended task bar, display options, .NET capability, and a bigger clock." Fair number of UI changes, some good, mostly irrelevant, but it's interesting. Wonder if it's real.

    ...will be useful to those trying to keep track of their .NET fees and licensing renewals.

    Is it just me, or is the screen just as cluttered as CNN at any given moment? I keep expecting the MS stock quote to slide accross the screen...

    Does anybody have the mirror of a site containing bluejeans.jpg?

    As a computer scientist, that is an interesting aspect of longhorn I'd like to investigate for it's technically stimulating intrinsic value.

    I wonder what's fastest in removing content from the internet, the Slashdot effect or Microsoft.

    Did anyone notice that in one of the screenshots Bjork is holding a camera. If she's in it, it must be a stable and secure operating system.

    "... .NET capability, and a bigger cock"
    Err, I read that WAY wrong. "Yeah, Windows Longhorn sports a bigger cock, to fuck its users harder..."

  7. corollary to the law of software envelopment by banky · · Score: 5, Funny

    JWZ's Law Of Software Envelopment states that all programs expand until they can read mail.

    I posit a corollary, the Law Of GUI Envelopment: all windows will eventually be round.

    Aqua has rounded corners. Now XP does. What, do they think they sharp edges might hurt someone?

    Microsoft Lawyer #1 So, what should we do about those sites displaying unauthorized screen shots from our Intellectual Property(tm)? Some of them are not responding too well to our usual cease & desist letters...


    Microsoft Lawyer #2 Just post their URLs to Slashdot, that will take care of 'em!
