The first shot is of the setup screen, virtually identical to the 3663 screenshots , except it's much prettier, and is shown in longhorn itself, the new theme that can be seen is called Plex, the sidebar (which is its proper name, yes its not sideshow or dashboard its SIDEBAR ) can be docked on either side of the screen, and can be made transparent, it also features a highly attractive 3d clock, at which arnaudt myself, scoop and khujo used many boxes of tissues. This shot shows the sidebar being used exclusively as the start menu, with the start menu switched off in Longhorn media center. Just for the hell of it one of the same thing but in Longhorn pro, just to prove we have both. The login screen, yes its pretty, yes its wonderful, and isnt that clock in the top right hand corner worth a wank alone?

Avalon is the codename for the Longhorn API, it is built on top of the .NET framework, and its responsible for that pretty sidebar, as well as the lovely background display control panel (which does not work very well yet). Screenshot of the desktop. Nothing too new here; an updated version of the screenshot leaked by my good friend Steven Bink is however evident. This is a shot of IE in longhorn, one can see it clearly is not IE7; it's IE 6.05. The new shell, well, isn't she lovely? Whilst yukon is in development (also known as wfs [the windows filesystem]) provides metadata for the shell that helps those little green bars to look so lovely, unfortunately yukon isn't included in this build, and so a service emulates it instead.

Lovely new picture in my documents, isn't it great? And the new version of the task pane can be seen to the left. My Pictures, pretty, and lovely. My Documents Windows Install Error (lol)
