Amiga Screen and Vista
« on: August 26, 2006, 07:46:58 PM »
Hello,

Have you seen the latest innovation from Vista ?

It has screen navigation (3D iso) like the Amiga.

There also vectorial graphics from Silicon ...

The only thing they done themself is folder view documents.

Back to the future ...

Windows Vista has screens?

My understanding is that it displays the open windows.

Maybe you were thinking of Mac OS X - Leopard will have something called 'Spaces' which is kinda like the Amiga's screens, but I never heard about anything like this for Vista.

Gotta love it, Apple once again claiming "innovation" and "amazing new things" which are just things other OSs have had for years. Workspaces are something Unix (Linux/BSD, etc) have had since the beginning of time.

Well, it's just a bit of an enhancement compared to the multipe desktop system wich exists on Linux already for a while.

Well kind of but Amiga screens can have different palette and screen mode ;-)

I must say I've always liked Irix's use of vector icons and such. Now if I can just figure out what to DO with these Indys I just got my paws on...
- Doc

A4000D, A3640 OC-36.3MHz, custom tower, Mediator A4000D. Diamond Banshee 16M, Indivision AGA 4000, GVP HC+8.

Mac Mini 1.5GHz, that might run MorphOS someday, when the fools who own it come to the realization that 30 minutes just isn\'t enough time to play with it enough to decide whether or not you like it enough to cough up $200.

 - Someone please design SOME kind of DIY accelerator for the A4000. :D -
