    Cool Windows Longhorn UI Shots

    For the curious.

    Paul Thurott's site has some caps of the Aero GUI planned for the next release of Windows here:

    You mean the cows?



    MaxPC has a couple articles about it. Last OS for a while from MS so they say (suuuuuure). All interfaces are direct x enabled, nothing, not even the keyboard hasaccess to the hardware directly and has to pass through the OS (no more keystroke loggers and many a trojan). Still NTFS based but enhanced. Lots of changes.

    Sign up as a beta tester at ms Peligroso
    Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."

    Considering that every single interface will most likely be direct X enabled, I doubt it will be anything but bloatware and you'll need to turn off a ton of junk before it runs well.
