New Longhorn Screenshots Leaked
Badgerguy writes "The Supersite for Windows has some shiney-blue looking leaked screenshots of LongHorn. The new screenshots of the 'Aero' interface mainly seem to be concerned with Digital Media integration - which has become deeper still. A new 'SyncManager' screenshot is up there (copying of iSync?) as well as some pictures of LongHorn prototype hardware, which looks like a cross between a desktop PC / Notebook / Tablet PC. "
"Well my XP box never crashed and I don't have to reboot for a week! I play mad gamez and it stays good! So it's stable, you are just a open source zealot!"

But I thought windows boxes were for only playing games
As each new Windows release comes out, I'm surprised to see the new release looks even more like a toy than the last release. What's next, a dancing Hello Kitty?
Anyone else notice that in one of the pics it says "Here's room for text but I don't thing we need it."?
Did Microsoft hire a Slashdot editor?

Talk about bloat. One of the screenshot diplaying what I would think is a fancy Device Manager has the computer listed as a 80Ghz Xeon with 20GB of RAM.
::)
Is that what's going to be required to run Longhorn?
(P.S. I know it's just what the developer typed in as a placeholder)

its a good thing buttons, images, and text are all getting larger. i've been far too satisfied with my 19" display.
finally, and end to the tyranny of productive screen usage!

How are you going to keep them down on the farm once they've seen Karl Hungus?
Bigger icons and bigger text on a shiney blue background. Reminds me of Gnome, which reminds me of KDE, which reminds me of OS X. At least with Bob they had true innovation going for them. Bring back Bob!!!

The OS with a GUI just like its security...full of holes.

Any word on how they'll avoid a Fischer-Price look-and-feel lawsuit?
Will they be changing the look and feel of the Blue Screen of Death (tm)? Maybe it'll become the Pastel Screen of Discomfort.

This is almost like hearing someone say, "Look at the sleek and sexy lines of that Honda Element."
Yeah. Car analogy. Deal with it.

Windows is getting easier and easier to use .. in fact, by the time the "Play My Music" button is the size of your monitor, theres no way you could mistakeningly hit the wrong button!
"Old man yells at systemd"
I just removed it from a friends PC today. It's a version of 98 that makes it real hard to get to DOS & crashes like Windows 3.1

There is a war going on for your mind.
I run a SuSE server and an XP box. Both have been up the same length of time without a crash.
You live in New York, right?

So, how is weather in New York these days?
Gawd, yeah.
I REALLY long for the old behavior of Ctrl-F bringing up a useful little search in its own window, not taking over my current explorer window. It's stupid how many clicks that adds to my everyday user experience.
You know, I NEVER want a sidebar appearing in explorer, file or internet or otherwise. Like when I hit ctrl-F on a page that hasn't finished loading, it pulls up a useless OEM-branded websearch...a chance for all kinds of retarded branding and useles portalling when all I want is MY FUCKING SEARCHBOX. (which is braindamaged anyway, pulling up random previous searches. Considering that the Address box and other autocompletes are pretty good, I'm appalled at what crap the ctrl-F search is. It must be some form of primitive protoDRM.)

When I saw those screen shots, the first thing I thought of was a scene in Friends where Joey says something really stupid and Rachel looks at him with pity and says, "It's a good thing you're pretty."
Where do I type "dir"?
Generally, bash is superior to python in those environments where python is not installed.
