Linked by Eugenia Loli-Queru on Thu 5th Jan 2006 04:43 UTC

The December pre-beta 2 release of Windows Vista offers the first true glimpse of the OS but is missing key elements. More information and screenshots can be found at Desktop Pipeline.

Explorer

I'm liking the new Explorer. Feels much more... compact and tied together. But I don't understand why they still don't update some of their icons. Like almost half of their Control Panel icons have been there since Win2000. Or their yellow folders that look like a kid drew them.

Attention to detail. It matters.

Ahh, 'nuff said. If you look in any number of windows XP DLLs, or in many of the wizards you'll note the hurried feel it all has, no continuity in icon design at all, a lot of which can be found from 2000 or even 9x.
