Hmmmm not really. After 20 years of the same old stuff you do get just a tad annoyed. Which is what is gonna happen with microsoft users. They're finally gonna get sick of frequent rectal bleeding as a result of being continually raped by bill gates and they're gonna say ENOUGH!

Yah i recently tried build 4029 actually like 2 days ago. It was total crap. First off i did get my wireless card working but with windows in charge of my wireless network things arnt pretty. Then i didnt want to install my soundcard driver but it kept popping up like a little pretty box in the right bottom corner that pissed the hell out of me. also default resolution was 640X480. Which pissed me off alot. Also i even needed a crack for longhorn even when it is still an alpha or something. That is real crap. Think how much trouble a tester would have having to activate it every time they reinstall it
you know its a bad day when you look more sober then usual

That new build doesn't look all that bad. I may actually try Longhorn out now(not as my main OS though). I didn't try earlier builds because that blue Plex VS was terrible(it murdered my eyes). Of course I won't use that sidebar because I'm a miminalist desktop person. That sidebar is too large for my likings.

(EDIT)As you guys can see Longhorn still has a long way to go. I bet the new look won't be final. It is going to undergo more changes as the Longhorn development progresses. I wonder if this build has a working beta of Aero?

I don't think they're going to keep this theme, because it looks like a ThemeXP.org theme gone bad.

It really shows what kind of people this OS appeals too when they have to be told that they don't have to stare at the screen for a ten minute process.

"This will take about ten minutes. Feel free to go and do something else."

"Really? No shit!?"
