Mr. Dee Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 The more I look at screenshots on WinBeta, the more its gets uglier to me. Especially those hard drive icons in My Computer, I thought they were going photo realistic. They look cartoony, I hope they are just place holders.

Larney Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Lets try and remember we all know miracles were not expected with this build specially after the codebase change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerry Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 lol We all know which themes are going to be popular in the next few weeks ;) :rofl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevcart3 Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Afraid so, but you are probably underestimating about a few weeks, more like a couple months.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I also noticed a few items conspicuously missing, like the inability to run Add/Remove Windows Components" although..new sync manager, new theme, broken dwm, new explorer setup, new remote desktop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtl Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Anyone know where the sidebar went? Or do they find it too unimportant to have in a build to hardware developers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benplace Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 I am no way "In the know" But I had heard that it was dropped because they couldnt make it work without WinFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mannlich Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 we waited a year for this???wow 585825228[/snapback] I agree, based on the screens I have seen of it so far, it doesn't look very impressive. I had hoped that after a year of development they would have made a little more progress than this. I understand this build is lacking a lot of the bells and whistles that will be included in longhorn, but come on. This is longhorn's first appearance since WinHEC last year, you would think they would start to show off some of the impressive features. Hopefully in some of the keynote addresses Alchin and whoever else will show off some of the new features in longhorn that are missing in this build.
