There have been a few pre-RTM screenshots released of 8, and it seems on the Desktop, window transparency is gone while the Taskbar still has it. Another item is the fact you can choose TWO colors, one for the windows and one for the Taskbar.
But it reminds me of something...
The Windows Longhorn concept, yes you said! It's really interesting how well it compares to 8.
Both have a transparent Taskbar, non-transparent windows, window UI controls that are fairly minimal to the point where it kind of does focus on the window contents themselves versus the UI, there is a sidebar, but one does something totally else but does have items that both can have, both have a newly designed Start button, both have better customization, both have a focus on social networking more than previous versions, both have Windows Explorer windows that take up a larger part of the top of the window, both are animated in design, and more importantly, both are designed to challenge an apple product head on.
What do you think?
