Longhorn

<< < (2/2)

PseudoRandomDragon:
Don't forget, Longhorn is still in the works. The interface can change drastically. They plan on making the clock bigger, the taskbar bigger, the sidebar bigger and rainbow colored and have 350 different wallpapers OF SOME FUCKING FIELD

iTunes was created much later than Windows Media Player and it had visuals in it. I believe the first media player to incorporate visuals was Winamp. So, technically, Windows copied off of Winamp and Apple copied off of Windows.

I hate to break this to you, but Apple never had the first GUI. There were many before it dating back to 1963. The first GUI was developed for MIT. It also wasn’t the first consumer computer with a GUI either (incase you want to attempt to argue at that angle) because there was one created and released a few years before Apple’s computer was released.

Name them because I can guarantee you Microsoft did not rip them off.

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.

You may have been wrong about the other stuff, but I do agree it looked similar to panther’s crap..

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!

How professional of you to judge an operating System that is in the ALPHA state of development and is 3 years away from being released.

Cram it moron. Aero and Aero Glass have yet to be enabled in any build of Longhorn, which will make the UI look much better and it should become more intuitive (though, it looks intuitive to me especially since it's the same interface that XP uses). Everything you've seen so far is basically a place holder until Aero is implemented fully.

I think that's the point.
