Looks pretty cool. Not sure if i'll wanna upgrade to it though. They said on my local news it would be out before the end of the year.

I think the look of it looks ghetto.. Just like JD said looks like coloring book colors..
Personaly I like the newest modern type of look, like the attacker theme from Windows blinds or something of that nature

Ok.. my opnion on it:
its much faster than the ones b4,, (less buggier), with the earlier builds if u had the graphics theme turned on, it would really slow down. in this build they fixed that up. u really cant compare it with any other os until the final has come out.. considring this is only pre-beta2.
here are some screen shots for ur enjoyment:

Screen shot #1:
This one is just the desktop.. with the new taskbar ..and start button.. i like it!. the background is third party.. i just really like the background.

Screenshot#2:

U have the choice to chooose how your folder will display your files.. for ex: (shown).. the music folder.. has like the artists songlenghts...
for pics u have like a photo album which is really cool:

Screenshot#3:
This is the control panel.. u can always change it to the old STyle.. (as you can see on the left).. but i like it this way

Thats ALL FOLKS!

no, one is still broken. in the music screen shot, their are quite a few backstreet boy's songs on their, is their something your not telling us?

the new OS looks really gay unless you put in classic mode, and I hope the task bar is improved (looks that way, but I have to try it out). I still think OSX would rock the world on a PC

That is one of the most fairy'ish looking OS'es I've ever seen.

If you have any others you'd like me to take of stuff you wanna see just ask, i'll be happy to accomodate, but whatever you do don't ask me to burn or upload Windows XP for you cause I wont

Also btw I did a clean install of Windows XP Professional and it takes up 1.38GB from a clean intall nothing added

This first pic is the Desktop that comes up by default:

This Pic shows the new crazy Start Menu:

This pic shows the system properties:

This pic shows My Computer with Media Player 8:

This pic shows the wonderfull IE6, notice the Personal bar on the left side:

This pic shows that you can have the Original Classic Windows theme if you wish:

Man, they've gone heavy into the MSN Explorer look, haven't they?
How is it running? I mean, is it pretty stable and works well with other apps?

mikemean · Post by **mikemean** » Mon Feb 19, 2001 12:29 am

At least you can have the classic windows interface. Those first few pictures were very ugly YUCK! I have heard that people are saying that whistler is a rip off of Mac OS 10, sure doesn't look like it to me. OS 10 is much prettier.

I've seen some of your posts about this, but what I want to know is, How do YOU like it?

Has anything been said at all about a proposed release date?

I realize it is still Beta but, you being a tester and all, I thought maybe you'd have heard something. Just curious as it gets!!!!

Indy · Post by **Indy** » Mon Feb 19, 2001 12:30 am

Last word I heard for a release date was q4 of this year...

I know what ur probably thinking.. that i try to hack into other peoples computer, but .. the prog has very good uses if u want to control your own computer. I use it to control the other 3 computers in the house, they are all networked..
