Chris-Gonzales Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 As long as it's not IMPOSED as default and is available as a theme choice, yes. Even if it was default, it will be fine. You can always go back to aero .

Wow some of those things there were incredible and looked very useful. I wonder if we'll ever see anything like this or if this is something that could be done with 7 by users like some sort of shell replacement/addon??

DiEMOS Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 in my opinion those 2 concepts look very outdated and cheezy. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/759486-there-are-rumors-too-that-a-new-ui-is-coming/page/13/#findComment-590867426 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denis W. Veteran Posted April 17, 2009 Veteran Share Posted April 17, 2009 in my opinion those 2 concepts look very outdated and cheezy. I agree. It looks like a really odd mashup of the Longhorn PDC 2003 concepts plus some new Windows 7 UI bits.

Brendando Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 The only feature from all of that that I would say was useful is the idea of having "Piles" on your desktop. So instead of folders, you simply roll over your piles, and you can visualize the documents through a popup of additional thumbnails displaying them. That would've been a useful feature, especially if they could be pinned to the taskbar. Much like OS X's Stacks. :p.

Luis Mazza Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I didn't find anything special about the video. I actually found the features pretty nonsense. If MS is going to update the UI, it should be aesthetically only. Besides that, a move to 3D icons is more exciting than the actual plain old 2D icons. The user interface is already very fast and intuitive for most of user needs.

Chris-Gonzales Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Keep in mind, they speed up the video, to make them selves look cool. like the longhorn one from 2003.

thepit Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Wouln't this be such a great improvement over the out of place start orb?

Luis Mazza Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Can someone tell me how to make win7 orb look like this one..Please.... I personally hate the start orb and the menu placement. If you move the taskbar to the sides it gets even more out of place when clicking the orb. Thus, a circle with the windows logo inside is pretty basic and boring. MS should make only the windows symbol glow lonely, without the circle. The circle is ridiculous. Nobody ever complained about the four flags, though. Can you imagine the Apple symbol with a damn circle around it? :omg: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/759486-there-are-rumors-too-that-a-new-ui-is-coming/page/13/#findComment-590869668 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris-Gonzales Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Not this again. :rolleyes: Can someone tell me how to make win7 orb look like this one..Please.... and that alone will confuse people from running programs. What they could do is have the orb blend in with what ever skin color you chose. The orb is here to stay.

The Rev Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 How can you guys say "It's too late" to spring a new UI on us?.... Have you already forgotten that it wasn't until RC/RTM when XP and vista got their finalized UI's? I'm just saying..... It's kinda funny to hear people say its too late, when MS has a history of dropping the new UI bomb very late in the game.
