if it doesn't look like this, I DON'T WANT IT

This would run at 10 fps on 2000s hardware and looks like shit

It's weird seeing that without Pink's "Let's get it started" in the background:

this is like the kind of garbage you'd see in a 2000's movie whenever a character would somehow have to use 'futuristic technology', like the 2000's version of the Jurassic park scene

So sad how Longhorn crashed and burned

@notnullptr this looks like the menu in Click (2006) and in the worst way possible

Aero chads rise up we have much work to do

why did we stray away from crazy compositing 3D interfaces that used 100% of our graphics card at the desktop just to show off how cool the operating system is

😍

so retro but for aero

😞 LONGHORN WAS COOL

windows dvd player menu lmao

Much as I dig this, MS's best bet going forward would basically have to be XP with a new coat of paint if they wanted to even attempt to patch things up with their user base

Longhorn if it came out today

been seeing too many aerogems on my timeline, it was about time I found some aeroslop

holy crap its been sooooo long since i've seen this concept (nearly 10 years maybe) that i forgot how amazing it is "iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii'm coming up so you better get this party started"

@Microsoft @Windows @satyanadella Return to this concept please.

@e0syn okay so maybe it's not a claude reskin

would like to see a steamos take of this. desktop mode and big picture coming from the ps3 and xbox 360 era would be cool

LONGHORN PLEX MY BELOVED

Ah longhorn. I rather have something with more feel like this than whatever their new OS will be. Would probably crash and mess up people‘s computer like Windows 11 is doing.

very nice

have I got an OS for you: Mac 26.

Was this a real product?

aero/y2k fatigue, xitter ruin anything

If Microsoft had even half of this kind of creative idea, Windows 11 wouldn't have become so terrible. Unfortunately, that's not the case now. :(

this sucks actually

Too much unrealistic animations, nothing opens immediately with no delays.

First time I see this video in such high quality

I'm sorry to inform you that people fucking hated Windows Vista

As pretty as this is, the animations are too much

We good

Microsoft would never do that; only Apple might.

You guys are insufferable omg

This is like figma with motion effects. It can't be comically fast like this.
