Which I thought, in some places, was quite similar to...

http://developer.apple.com/ue/switch/windows.html

I think these guidelines are long overdue for Windows people.

The apple guidelines make a hell of a lot of sense, I think windows developers should be reading those. Vista looks nice though, I am a little suprised that the base resolution is still 800x600 though, that was what Win XP defaulted to.

When you run Vista higher unless you have a powerful graphics card it doesn't like it right now.. probably going to change.

Finally got an update in Vista a few days back so applications open the same speed as Windows XP (which is a step-up from before heh)
Design guides and such for Vista right now dont' have enough images imo... I mean they're interesting to read, but none seem to want to show you visually what to do, or if they do it's at a pathetically small thumbnail without a fullscreen version.

This is a shame given how much more Avalon provides to the UI System.

Why am I not surprised they dropped the promised vector icons as well ?

Oh well, UI guidelines are better late than never.

Blog is death. How? NO idea. But is murder. REVENGE!

kinda sad actually...

Vista is going to SUCK, everything "cool" they have is already available in other OS (Mac osX and linux...)

makes no sense to me...
