blackcomb- Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 http://pdc.xbetas.com/content.php?page=4050 Check these out ... here are some screenshots of Windows Longhorn Build 4050... This is an internal build from lab 6.. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/106231-the-official-pdc-2003-thread/page/16/#findComment-1306861 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 I really nice page on MSDN with some good pictures is http://msdn.microsoft.com/Longhorn/default...e_patientdb.asp Looks like being a developer for the windows platform is going to get a whole lot nicer(visually). That isn't what the VS is going to look like (color wise, etc.). Everyone at PDC has said it is a "Frosted Glass" opaque look as in the Aero Rock video. And if you watch the Amazon.com video, you really get to see what Aero is capable of (Rolodex type browsing). Here is more proof: Longhorn Desktop Video Oh and here are screenshots: http://www.winsupersite.com/images/reviews..._keynote_01.jpg http://www.winsupersite.com/images/reviews..._keynote_08.jpg and plenty of others from Paul Thurrott's Wonder Site Anyone able to export that video to an open format :rolleyes: ? ... I would love to see it, but Microsoft are yet to release codec's or an updated Windows Media Player for OS X, since Version 7 (Which BLOWS :x ) Please! :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/106231-the-official-pdc-2003-thread/page/16/#findComment-1306862 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tronmaster Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 Thanks for the Longhorn video!! I can barely see the transparency and fast animation. Can't wait!

QuarterSwede Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 No problem guys, I was just sick of everyone "knowing" what it looks like and being completely wrong.

womble68 Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 I wonder if Paul was supposed to be allowed to have a camera to film the Aero interface me wonders. Looks different, but then hopefully it does some new USEFUL stuff rather than just looking good. Looking forward to seeing it in action though Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/106231-the-official-pdc-2003-thread/page/16/#findComment-1306891 Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomwarren Veteran Posted October 28, 2003 Author Veteran Share Posted October 28, 2003 I like the 4050 shots, probably only difference is DCE/Aero :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/106231-the-official-pdc-2003-thread/page/16/#findComment-1306922 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tokartta Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 Is that the sound of someone's watch going off as that window fades in? It would be such a perfect sound for maximise or something.

QuarterSwede Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 I like the 4050 shots, probably only difference is DCE/Aero :) The lack of Aero you mean. This is the same build of Longhorn that was introduced at the Keynote this morning by Bill Gates and Jim Allchin. The only difference between this specific copy of the OS is that this lacks components from Aero. The Microsoft representative told us that Aero is still under heavy construction and security, to prevent any form of leakage, as the rep himself had never really worked with it. Which explains why no one has seen it before PDC and everyone thinks they know what it looks like. MS is getting smarter and smarter.

QuarterSwede Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 (edited) Here is a new video (Avalon Transparencies) straight from Paul showing how Avalon works with the windows (still called explorer?). Nice alerts! I hope the error dialogues will be alerts now. That would make it sooo much nicer.
