New Longhorn Screenshots And Schedule

Posted by Zonk on from the oo-pretty dept.

Mozillabird writes "WinSupersite has recently updated the Longhorn release schedule and has provided some new screenshots of Aero. The first beta of Longhorn is May 2005, though there is some speculation about how much of Avalon and Aero will be implemented in that beta. The "big beta" is scheduled for this Fall."

  1. Avalon and Indigo Preview by PhrostyMcByte · · Score: 5, Informative

    Microsoft released community previews of Avalon and Indigo a couple days ago. For the most part, Avalon has been working for me. I havn't used Indigo yet.

    As far as I can tell Avalon isn't hardware accelerated yet but it is still pretty low in CPU usage. The fairly simple calculator sample included uses 25 megs of RAM though!

    Fun stuff to play with, even if it's not production ready.
