Io lo sapevo già :D
Mi ero informato e avevo scaricato altre sue foto in stile naturalistico.
Da notare che questo stile, soprattutto le macro-foto di particolari come le foglie, fili d'erba etc. che ormai spopolano anche sugli altri OS come MacOSX e Linux ha avuto origine da Longhorn/Vista. Lo stile green/ambientalista a me piace...

Ah, e pensare che il suo è solo un hobby e un giorno si è visto recapitare un email da MS che gli diceva che sarebbero stati interessati... sai che colpo!? ;)

e ci credo sopratutto perchè è anche un microsoft fun , usa windows dalla 2.0 ed ha anche una x box e una 360 (anche una ps2 mi pare)
cmq è dei nostri :D (ma quelle macro dove si trovano per photoshop? )

e invece sui suoni di sistema si sa qualcosa?

si anche secondo me, è vero che si parla di vista ma è soprattutto riferito all'aspetto grafico!!

NO!
Il topic è aperto in modo crescente, nel senso che quando saranno disponibili curiosità e retroscena sul sistema tutti possiamo aggiungere qui un post, di conseguenza con modding non ha nulla a che vedere.Quindi se qualcuno di voi magari conosce chi ha creato le cartelle oppure le icone varie etc, mettiamo tutto qui ed avremo un bel post di MAKING OF !

10 predizioni della nostra grande giornalista

Microsoft 2008

Mary Jo Foley

1

First up: Expect "Fiji," the new version of Windows Media Center, to resurface. Fiji, which probably now has a boring codename like Windows 6.5, will reemerge from information lock-down in early 2008. I wouldn't be surprised to see Microsoft field a private test build of Fiji as soon as January (timed with the Consumer Electronics Show). Because Fiji allegedly requires Vista Service Pack 1 to work, a public beta is probably unlikely until spring. Final Fiji release: I'm betting late summer 2008 (in time for Holiday 2008 preloads).

Microsoft Predictions for 2008: Apple finally admits it licensed Microsoft ActiveSync

Apple is none too happy when it can't maintain its shroud of secrecy. That's why Apple still hasn't announced -- even though it would make many business customers happy -- that it licensed the ActiveSync protocol from Microsoft that will make it easier to sync the iPhone with Exchange Server.

But Apple can't hold off forever. CEO Steve Jobs might admit Apple inked the licensing agreement with Microsoft at Macworld in January. Or he might wait until later next year to acknowledge the deal. But in 2008, Apple will admit publicly that it has sought Redmond's blessing, yet again.
-----------------------------------------------------------

Games group housecleaning continues

Ever since Microsoft brought in Electronic Arts executive Don Mattrick to run its Interactive Entertainment Business, there have been a lot of changes on the gaming side of Microsoft. That's no coincidence: Mattrick is cleaning house, sources say. And one of the next casualties could be Shane Kim, Corporate VP of Microsoft Game Studios. Expect more game-related shake-ups at Microsoft in 2008.
----------------------------------------------------
4

Microsoft throws more dev weight behind FaceBook

Now that Facebook has opened up its development platform to other social-networking vendors, it seems obvious that Microsoft would want to get onboard. So far, other than fielding a Facebook development toolkit, Microsoft hasn't talked about its dev strategy for Facebook. But in 2008, watch for the Redmondians to announce more tools to help Facebook combat Google's (still-vaporish) OpenSocial. (And don't be surprised to see some patent-sword rattling by Microsoft regarding OpenSocial, in the process.)
----------------------------------------------------

Microsoft Predictions for 2008: Windows Mobile phones get Zuned

When Roz Ho left her post as head of the Microsoft Mac Business Unit earlier this year, she disappeared into the depths of the Mobile and Entertainment Division. Word is Ho is heading up the mysterious "Pink and Purple" project, which is all about bringing Zune features and functionality to Windows Mobile devices. It sounds like Ho also is part of the oft-denied skunkworks project to create a Microsoft ZunePhone. Word is some of the new Windows Mobile music features will see the light of day (in beta or final form) in 2008
---------------------------------------------------------------------
6
Office 14 hits beta

Even though Windows 7 isn't expected to ship until 2010, word is that Office 14 is still on track to be released to manufacturing in 2009. If Microsoft sticks to schedule, the company could field Beta 1 of the product in 2008.
-------------------------------------------------
7
More Microsoft-hosted enterprise services to debut

Microsoft is slowly but surely fielding more Microsoft-hosted enterprise services that it is marketing to large enterprises. In 2007, Microsoft made a push for Microsoft-hosted Office Communications Server, SharePoint and Exchange. In 2008, expect Microsoft to add Forefront security and a business-intelligence bundle to its Office Online price list.
------------------------------------
8
OOXML will get the ISO nod

In February, Microsoft's Open Office XML will be up for ISO standards consideration. Despite the best attempts of Microsoft's adversaries and critics to derail it, OOXML is finally going to get the ISO nod. That doesn't mean the OOXML vs. ODF/CDF battle won't continue, given that big government contracts stipulating "open" formats are at stake. But one more hurdle for OOXML's acceptance will be behind Microsoft in the new year.
-----------------------------------------------------------
9
No Windows 7 news is good news

Windows 7 exists. Folks inside Microsoft are running early builds already. Does that mean we can count on seeing test builds of Windows 7 in 2008? I bet not. I'd be very surprised to see any kind of broad tech preview out next year. The only thing that would surprise me more: Istartedsomething.com blogger Long Zheng being appointed as Microsoft's new Director of Windows Client Disclosure. Bottom line: If you're hoping to see 7 in 08, don't hold your breath.
--------------------------------

Former Adobe CEO chief joins Microsoft

Bruce Chizen, Adobe's CEO who abruptly resigned in 2007, has been mum on his future plans. But sources say Chizen is going to join Microsoft to run the Expression team in the new year. As Microsoft watchers know, Adobe and Microsoft are competing head-to-head in the design-tool space. If the sources are right (and there are no non-competes in the way), Chizen may have a new roost to rule soon.

altre previsioni per il 2008

Steven Bink: Don’t forget about the Windows Server 2008-based bundles that are coming in the new year. Bink mentions Cougar (Windows Small Business Serer 2008); Centro (Windows Essential Business Server 2008; Windows Storage Server 2008; and Windows Unified Data Storage Server 2008.

WindowsConnected: Betas of Windows Server 2008 SP1 and Windows Vista SP2, predicts WindowsConnected’s Josh Phillips. (Me? I’ll be surprised if there are even private betas of either of these next year, especially given the pace at which Microsoft is developing/testing/rolling out Vista SP1 and XP SP3.)

CRN: “Microsoft will extend the February 2009 system builder deadline for Windows XP Professional,” predicts Kevin McLaughlin. “In a sign of the still-strong demand for Windows XP, Microsoft in September extended the deadline for sales of new direct OEM PCs with XP installed from Jan. 31, 2008 to June 30, 2008. Many system builders expect (and hope) that the vendor will soon decide to extend their current Jan. 31, 2009 deadline by at least six months.”

Scusami eh, ma non sarebbe meglio aprire un 3d unico in cui infilare tutta sta rumenta?
Non fraintendermi, è ammirevole la tua devozione verso vista ma tutto in unico 3d starebbe molto meglio. No?:confused:

Opera rompe e va dalla comunità europea??
Microsoft vi spiega come istallare Firefox senza aprire IE 7

The Windows and "R" keys pressed concomitantly also open the Run dialog box. Users can alternatively enter "cmd" in the Search box under the Start menu, right click the selected result and select "Run as administrator". In "cmd" enter the following command without the quotes: "ftp ftp.osuosl.org". You will be asked for your user name, and just type "anonymous", and specify a password. Simply pressing Enter will deal with the password request, and you have logged in successfully. Now, type "cd /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/2.0.0.11/win32/en-US/" and hot Enter. Then, "mget *.exe" to access Firefox Setup 2.0.0.11.exe. After the download will be completed, write "Firefox Setup 2.0.0.11.exe", this time with the quotes to install the open source browser
