minus-squaregregorum@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-22 months agoFunny, because this looks a lot like how Longhorn did/was supposed to. Very pretty for its time. Longhorn broke my heart, and I haven’t used Windows since (except to play Fallout)
minus-squareSubArcticTundra@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2 months agoAgreed, I am also a Longhorn enthusiast
minus-squaregregorum@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 months agoBeta testing Longhorn, and it’s failure, just killed my last ounce of faith in MS. I went and bought a Mac after that, lol. TBH, being into Macs are what got me into UNIX and Linux, though, so that’s something.
