If u look at the text on wallpaper, the text has no failure, and the tray is soooo close to the text, so why is the tray curved and not the text? hmmm IPlural ?

This is scren shot of a proto type Longhorn UI and it does curve for sure. But again the shot leaves a lot to be desired and it is hard to really see what is real and what is visual disfunction...

The Road to Windows Longhorn 2003

UPDATE. On August 19, 2003, I obtained the first legitimate depictions of Microsoft's planned Longhorn "Aero" user interface! Jump ahead to see what it looks like...

At the Windows Hardware Engineering Conference (WinHEC) 2003 trade show in New Orleans in May 2003, Microsoft finally revealed its roadmap for Longhorn, the next major Windows desktop version, and the successor to Windows XP. Longhorn, as readers of this site know, will be the most dramatic and exciting release of Windows ever, and the most important update to the product since Windows 95.

Have a nice evening(europe)

This is all interesting. You are all writing such intruiging posts. In fact, I believe the topic for Longhorn is far more interesting than all those other topics...'specially that stupid "oh is marriage a good idea~?~". I am also looking forward to this new File System. I believe that the filing system is the core of quality and performance of the system.
As for the odd looking curving taskbar, I believe it is a good idea, and does serve a purpose. Recently, I discovered a setting on my own taskbar, i don't know if it works for all resolution settings, but for mine, it's good. Everyone righ-click your taskbar, and "clear£ the 'lock the taskbar' option. this will allow you to resize the taskbar. rezise it so that it's basically double the size it was before. As you can now see, where the clock is displayed, the day, and date is also displayed. Now, as you can confirm, there is now space for this extra display. however, because you've extended the size of the taskbar, it does kinda look ugly and bulgy. But that can't be helped if you really want the date to be displayed. I've kept it like that because i think it's worth it. And i've got used to it now so.. But basically, maybe MS made the tray bigger so that the date can be displayed, and the taskbar can remain it's normal proportion. That might not be right, but it does sound valid, don't you agree?

Yes, you writing/idea is so right...
Looking forward for more pics and stuff soon on longhorn...
