Thanks to the guys over at Winbeta, we've got screenies for you of the upcoming Longhorn from Microsoft.

See the <a href="http://www.hardwareheaven.com/thread.php?id=6778">forum</a> for the shots.

I've got to say I don't like that side panel down the side, I tried Smartbar and to be honest it jus' got on my nerves, i suppose by the time it's released we'll all be on 32" Plasma and not give a damn,

it looks very "glossy", im still not sure after a few weeks if I like its look at all. although I thought that with XP, and now I love it. time will tell I guess.

Dunno if anyone's noticed... (either that or I'm out of the loop on this one)

Longhorn XP Media Center Edition...... is this a suped up version of the Windows XP Media Center edition that's found on those funky HP machines?

I think that interface is minty

heheh

I have been using Longhorn theme for XP for some time... it is nice, but XP's standard one is simpler and better.
And that bar on right side - waste of space.

Are these the same screenshots which winbeta posted together with movie some time ago?

Looks pretty good I like some of those new fangled dealies that we can see on those pics like the hard drive volume bars those are neat. I would like those now and if they already have that polished a version already the by release it should be pretty damn good.

I would like to kill the side bar also maybe autohide would be okay..

They're fake.

i know for a fact that there not fake cause a friend on the other side of the pond is running it on their pc rt now, i remote connected to him and he took me on a tour, seems sweet, its XP with bigger bells and whistles, no biggie. i too can do without the side bar, complete waste of space, i mean could the clock be any bigger..lol

oh and FYI, its buggy! what do you expect for an alpha

Looked strange to me too...
Wouldn't it have to be Microsoft Windows Codenamed Longhorn?

Try reading further - for every claim that it's fake there's someone debunking the claim.

So, are they real? Are they fake? Only the guys at Microsoft and Winbeta know for sure.

Saint_K · Nov 10, 2002, 01:05 PM

is winbeta down? I can't seem to acces there main page

Zardon · Nov 10, 2002, 01:33 PM

well I know for a fact Khujo has access to microsoft leaks.... he was the guy who got most of the other stuff, SP builds etc for winbeta and DH.

~~jackasster~~ · Nov 10, 2002, 01:50 PM

just looks like a western style (theme) of xp
whats next a garage style...lol

looks gay anyway probably install 4 gigs of bloatware before you install any third party programs

some third party programs are getting just as bloated.

FuNsTeR · Nov 10, 2002, 02:26 PM

true but like 9x to nt/xp kernel half of the programs again wont work so you will have to buy or download warez the newest version for it to work

such a mature insult, calling things you dont like "gay", anyway i think these are real.. they look cool what build number is this? the last screenys were 3686 right?

RIV@NVX · Nov 11, 2002, 10:40 PM

I think too that are real because I saw WHOLE movie made with HyperCam, so they can't be really fake.
But look really strange - it should be Windows Codenamed Longhorn, not Longhorn XP MCE.
