    The icons made your eyes twitch, but the Vista didn’t?

        Lol, dude should just slip in some skinned-up Linux Mint. Dad’s mind would be blown because OMG it’s so fast now!

            Funny, because this looks a lot like how Longhorn did/was supposed to. Very pretty for its time.

            Longhorn broke my heart, and I haven’t used Windows since (except to play Fallout)

                Beta testing Longhorn, and it’s failure, just killed my last ounce of faith in MS. I went and bought a Mac after that, lol.

                TBH, being into Macs are what got me into UNIX and Linux, though, so that’s something.

                  A while back I wanted to make a Longhorn-style fork of Haiku (imo the sweet spot between windows and linux), although I ended up quitting because it was too much work

                  Here are some mockups

                    Now I’m trying to imagine Haiku, but with that Aero glass theme.

      You’re sure it’s not 7? I loved the glass that 7 had.
