  Longhorn Evangelist Debunks Professed 'Aero' Shots
Time: 16:23 EST/21:23 GMT | News Source: BetaNews | Posted By: Jonathan Tigner

Robert Scoble, technology evangelist for Longhorn at Microsoft, has called into question several purported screenshots of the next-generation Longhorn interface code-named "Aero."

The images originate from a presentation by Steve Ball, program manager for Microsoft's Windows Audio Video Devices Group, given at WinHEC 2003 last May. But Scoble says the three month-old shots appear to be early concepts, not Aero itself, which Microsoft keeps under strict lock and key.

"These look like early demonstration screens, and not how Longhorn will eventually look," Scoble wrote in his Web log. "The builds I'm using don't have the Aero interface, Microsoft really wants to make sure screen captures don't leak out."

"The real "Aero" is one of Longhorn's biggest secrets -- I've seen it, but can't load it on my own machine and am locked out of the server where it's kept," says Microsoft's Scoble. "I am not even sure they'll show it off at the PDC."
