What the hell is MS thinking?
I was checking out the Longhorn beta shots:

So, the OS looks like CRAP. Usability is out of the window, haven’t they LEARN anything from OSX’s transparency fiasco?
Longhorn looks bad, windows look VERY BUSY. I am 100% sure that if you could time travel and get a laptop running Longhorn to a *computer user* of 1985, he would not be able to figure out that UI, while that wouldn’t be the case for OSX and even Gnome.
The ONLY good thing that I can see in these shots is the font quality:

Best font quality, ever.
