Various sources are posting screenshots of the upcoming beta release of Longhorn, Microsoft's succesor to Windows XP. IE7 shots are also included. Due to the Slashdot-effect, mirrors are already available. Original source | mirror 1 | mirror 2. My take: Too much transparency.

I'm not sure it's relevant but I'd like to know how the titlebar transparency relates to GUI design guidelines and other HIG. I found the transparent blur quite disturbing and it makes text less readable, especially the 'search' box in one of the screenshots.
Oh, and aesthetically the inside of the window doesn't quite fit the window frame. But that's just my taste.
