Windows Longhorn M5 (Build 4029) Leaked | |
|
||
| Time: 02:06 EST/07:06 GMT | News Source: IeXbeta | Posted By: Byron Hinson | ||
|
Last night, build 4029 of Microsoft's next big thing, Windows code-named "Longhorn", was leaked to the web by the gang over at #betas on irc.ufnet.org... Despite for the fact that it was compiled back in June, this is still the latest milestone-build of Longhorn that ever surfaced outside Microsoft's campus. The most noticeable changes compared to the previously leaked build 4015 are an somewhat enhanced sidebar as well as minor improvements that have been made throughout the infamous Plex-skin... Sorry folks, no Aero yet! | ||

| This, coupled with the Office 2003 leak, is just more proof that MS has a severe problem with physical media security. Something is definitely not right in Redmond. |

| They have always had the same problems, when developers get hold of builds, or the few internal leakers get hold of it and spread it around, it always happens, for such a big company I can't see that changing. |

sph: It's not a 3D interface, nor was it ever going to be.
It's a 2D desktop rendered using your GPU, via DirectX. |

it is kinda interesting isn't it.
Nobody has publically seen the tier 2 UI. so we really don' t know what MS has planned. Tier 1 will be a Composited windowed platform with 2d textures rendored off screen and then composited to a final screen that is displayed. useing the dx graphics path. Tier2, (while I believe will use the same techniques for the most part) will offer the newer "opening and closing and minimizing" effects. Since the platform is in 3d space it can also support true 3d controls. But until we have our hands on the Aero API and avalon API to see what is possible it is a guessing game right now. el |
