Longhorn

Now, as a longtime apple user, Im used to microsoft ripping apple off. From the visulizer in Windows media player (iTunes), Graphical interface (first mac), Appleworks featres put in office, etc. But when I heard that Longhorn has the same metalic interface that panther does, I looked it up, and it looks very simular to the brushed metal.

Apple should sue......

Look at all the wasted space   :eek:  
Wow. Horrible interface. Almost half the window is taken up by the menu, and the menu bar, goddamn. It is far too large. Then there is more menu on the side. I hate it. Absolutely hate it. And it looks nothing like brushed metal. lol

Being a proffessional interface designer and having looked at these screen grabs I can heartily say that Longhorn is gonna have alot of failings in its interface.

The whole thing lacks intiuitivity.

I looks like another case of microsoft leading windows down a very restrictive path for user experience.

They seriously need to redefine the interface!

It looks like the mess I usually make in my own room. A little bit here and a little bit there and everything is thrown around like a smaller hurricane. The only thing that looks good is that "bliss" desktop pic.

Paladin9:
Keep in mind that Longhorn is far from being released and that it will probably look at lot different by the time it is released.  But, what is with the big fucking clock?  Now that was not there before, and it is a huge waste of space.

Oh yeah, this is more of a MS topic then an Apple topic so I am going to put it in the MS OS section.
