it'll be on MSDN shortly,
, lots of screenshots
meanwhile after looking at that video link you posted I felt that some of those 'concept' screens in it actually DID look similar to early versions of longhorn (but they didn't have the effects in that video....)
have a look here to see what I mean (screenshots)
http://anyweb.kicks-ass.net/computers/os/windows/longhorn/index.htm...
that covers the following longhorn releases
* Longhorn 4008. Longhorn XP Professional/XP Freestyle ?
* Longhorn 4008. Longhorn 4008 post install screenshots
* Longhorn 4015. Checkout the Sidebar in action and the cool clock
* Longhorn 4029. Now it's looking very sleek, installation and post-installation screenshots
* Longhorn 4051. The Slate theme sees the light of day
* Longhorn 4053. DNS issues with this release, at least for me.
* Longhorn 4074. The most stable yet, even Quake 3 runs with the nvidia drivers installed !
* Longhorn 5048. WinHEC release, boring but at least something was released.
* Longhorn 5112. Windows Vista BETA 1 installation screenshots.
* Longhorn 5112. Windows Vista BETA 1 post-installation screenshots.
* Longhorn 5219. Windows Vista PDC installation screenshots.
* Longhorn 5219. Windows Vista PDC post-installation screenshots.
* Longhorn 5219 Video (cool). A nice video story showing Vista PDC release from start to finish.
* Longhorn 5112 videos. Windows Vista BETA 1 videos showing it in action.
* Longhorn 5231 screenshots
* Longhorn 5259. Longhorn Nov 2005 installation screenshots.
* Longhorn 5259. Longhorn Nov 2005 post-installation screenshots.
I got bored after that, but have tried out quite a few releases since then, but never got round to putting screenies together
oh well,
thumbs up to Vista RTM, I look forward to trying it out
