CREEPY!!

A guy I know works at Microsoft Portugal and he says he's found this interesting OS on someone's PC that he also doesn't know what is it. Seems to be a Whistler in the 7 era. Next Windows?



I spent almost 1 hour doing that.

Looks like Microsoft Codename Whistler Build 2267 with a modified explorer.exe.

No filemods, Paint.NET only

"looks like" dud, see?? but good job! i love my whistler so much if they have an aero..

A mock up of what Windows 8 might look like during the UI changing process:

LOL @ Copyright year in winver.exe. The winver.exe in the real Microsoft Codename Windows 8 builds will say "Copyright © 2010 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved."

centered title text
reminds on Longhorn *_*

Uh, the winver dialog says Copyright 2009 Microsoft in it...

Did you mean:
Copyright © 2010 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

And if so, yes I forgot to change it. Hey, this was only a mockup


I was thinking of Windows 3.1 and Office 2007 with the centered window text.

Once I was planning to make a whole fake setup process for a fake Odyssey build.
I only ever did the setupldr.
Here it is. (eww thumbnail sucks)

I seems you use "Perfect DOS VGA 437 Win" Font and you are using mspaint.

TD, You know setupldr is also reshackable, right?

OH GOD

*runs*

Yes, I know i could have hex edited/reshacked files.
Yes, I did modify a setupldr screenshot in mspaint.

I know someone at Microsoft Portugal that told me just today that the first Windows 8 build was already finished for a long time, so he gave me a screenshot of it, promising I wouldn't tell anyone. Sorry I couldn't resist:



There are some new features, the Windows Vista sidebar is back, they said it was prettier and the slideshow gadget now allows you to see videos too! An interesting new feature is that there's a close icon in any active program on the task bar, being easier to close them without interrupting your work. IE 9 hasn't been integrated on this one yet so they use FIREFOX! There are a few bugs though, he said some theme changes made the start menu icon be oversized and this build was based on Windows 7 beta, so the Windows 7 branding is still on the left bottom.
And it's Media Center

Another 3D GUI pic, done much better:

Who knows? We might see some stuff like this in Windows 8.
And if you're wondering why the command prompt is flipped like it is, that would be a minimizing effect, flipping while shrinking.
