One of the next possible Windows GUI can be seen here. http://pc.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/2003/0509/k1_6.htm

Oh, *that* is the reason behind the 128MB 3D accelerator requirement.

At this rate, the MS UI group is going to put demo crews out of a job  :-P

I really hope SimoAmi has a chance to contribute before OS4 is released - the Hyperion guys keep on saying things like "when it's done", but I'm fairly certain that they have a schedule that they're keeping to.  They just don't want to get grilled if it slips  :-)

I think BenH and the Friedens are feeling a bit defensive because of all the BS that's been flung their way, so they are wary of taking this offer to help at face value.

@NewRevolution:

That's what a skinnable gui is all about - you go to Prefs, select "gui preferences" and load up the "OS3.1" preset.  I'm fairly certain a ton of skins will become available shortly after OS4 ships - I'd like to see what a "Geos 1.3" skin would feel like  :-)
