Vista

Tuesday September 6, 2005 - 3:14PM EDT

Took a look at some new features and screenshots of the new version of Windows that is coming out. It is now called Windows Vista instead of Longhorn. Based on the early pics the interface looks much better than some earlier Longhorn pics I saw and finnally may be almost as good looking as MacOSX. In fact I think that when is all said an done the GUI look may be comparable. Usability is another different story. Not that MacOSx doesn't have its flaws, especially when it comes to customization and power users trying to go through the GUI. That is a minor gripe I have with MacOSX. The GUI oversimplifies a lot of things and you can't customize as much as Windows or LinuX. Also Finder is a piece of garbage. 2.5 hours of the work day left.
