another look at longhorn
a review of the 4015 build of longhorn, from april (sadly old i know). i posted this one some months ago, but a reread of the article revealed more to me in light of my thinking about filtering. scroll down about halfway through the review to the heading "Libraries, pivot views, Carousel view and stacks"
it is interesting, not just for the newviews, but the underlying move to remove drive letters and folders from the user. for apple, this has been standard, for windows it is new. also worth noting - the new version of photoshop is supposed to allow the ability to put more metadata into image files. wasnt it you kurt who wanted rfid tags in everything? looks like we will be starting on the desktop.
when 2005 rolls around and os xi and longhorn are out...the world will be a very very different place.
