OT: Microsoft Windows Longhorn Screenshots

Actually, I'm a long time Windows user. But I don't really mind the Mac OS fake 3D windows with shadows and transparency.

It is easy on the eyes and perhaps (?!) it even aids desktop navigation.

Even if the screen is 2D you can pick up visual cues from fake 3D. Not saying that that is the case with Longhorn or Mac OS, but I wouldn't dismiss the technique outright.

Nice!

I'm liking the fluxbox interface too, very minimal.

Aaah. Command lines.

Bad learning curve, immense power.

true, tiger is sweet. My understanding is that skinning can hurt performance...?

TIGER, tiger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
