Longhorn revisited if you fancy a look>http://www.winsupersite.com/reviews/longhorn_alpha3.asp   ....i hate that clock....grrrTeletubby ridden theme.. Looks just like Windows XP's theme. They better add a Classic Windows theme - soon people'll find PC's childish thanks to layouts like that.. Might as well paint your keyboard pink.

Sidebar

Sidebar looks much like a popup to me.. Takes up 1/6 of the screen just to provide you with things your Desktop can as well.. Did the programmers have too much time on their HANDS?

The clock wholly unpractical too.. Must have been made by a drunk student..

I see that Device Manager has made room for My hardware as if the machine is alive and REQUIRES to point out that it is its hardware. Doesn't look all that great to me - Device Manager had it sorted out neatly, very practical. Can't say the same of My hardware

What a girlscout's name...thats the future....so you no doubt stick with winxp.. the fisher price...look......that why i have stuck with winme...people hate it  WHY.... is it  because it came out the same time as winxp? and a con this is basicly longhorn/winxp...by  stardock/wincustomize....windows blinds....{shell}Win ME came out in 99/2000 tha same time as Windows 2000.  Winxp was released early in 2002Too much junk on one monitor. If you have three flat A4 panel monitors, preferably in portrait view, then you can have an in-box read screen, an out-box write screen and an application or help screen, and break up web-pages into page per screen. Need to be 19" plus monitors though.

You could do the same with a "briefcase" computer, like a laptop but with the screen hinging on its shorter side and two auxilliary monitors running off a docking bay, when using it as a desktop.

Bad design. If the computer itself had been kept horizontal you would have your CD-ROM drives, floppy drives and ZIP drives side by side right in front of your keyboard. And the CD-ROM drives could be top loading with a click down lid which keeps the pressure on the CD when running, or an expanding centre collet spindle to grip it.

With a deep horizontal design, where the keyboard is built in to the front of the computer, connections to the mobo are easier as the mobo is lying flat and the heat from the CPU, also lying flat, rises, and just needs air drawing over it.

They even "design" CD-ROM drives where the hot microchips are placed on a printed circuit board where the board is placed UNDER the drive so the heat goes into the drive and fries the chip instead of rising upwards  away from it.

Never heard that hot air rises I guess.Well seeing as most of you are going all Open-Source on us by using the Firefox browser, why not GO the whole HOG and use Linux? Or change how Windows looks by using Litestep?
