      Lol, dude should just slip in some skinned-up Linux Mint. Dad’s mind would be blown because OMG it’s so fast now!

          Funny, because this looks a lot like how Longhorn did/was supposed to. Very pretty for its time.

          Longhorn broke my heart, and I haven’t used Windows since (except to play Fallout)

              Beta testing Longhorn, and it’s failure, just killed my last ounce of faith in MS. I went and bought a Mac after that, lol.

              TBH, being into Macs are what got me into UNIX and Linux, though, so that’s something.

                A while back I wanted to make a Longhorn-style fork of Haiku (imo the sweet spot between windows and linux), although I ended up quitting because it was too much work

                Here are some mockups
