Windows In an interesting turn of events, Microsoft has said that the current Aero interface in the latest Vista build (the December CTP) is not the final UI, saying: "There are going to be GUI changes in Vista by the time the final release comes." However, not too long ago they claimed the current Aero UI was final. Will the real Microsoft developer please stand up?

It's as final as final gets

Anybody who thinks MS has had a super-secret this-is-gonna-make-you-drool UI theme hidden away in the basement somewhere for the last 5 years of "Longhorn will be released next year" is sucking on Bill & Steve's knees. They've been saying this the whole time.

Yeah they'll make some minor modifications, maybe, if they have time, but the UI you're seeing now is what it's gonna look like, end of story.

That's what we all said about XP when it had that "Professional" theme with the crazy squares near the widgets. But then Luna showed up.

Aw God, don't tell me we can expect this kinda cool theme to be replaces by some fugly colorish theme?! Was I really the only one who didn't like the Luna and who thinks it's a theme made for retarded (no insult ment!) people and dumb blonde secretaries, with all those big buttons and widgets? Oh well, there is always Gnome ;)
