Hey! I am new to this forum so i guess this is a start

I have made a concept a month ago about what Windows 8 would look like around 15 years ago.

This was based from a Neptune concept made where the images were really blurry, but it contained things like a full screen pictures app and it basically resembled Windows 8. So, here it is!

This is the bootscreen. I have made it so it looks plain to add to the metro feel.

This OS acts like a kiosk, so this is the admin account when you enter the desktop.

Now this is the default home page, resembling the active desktop you can see in Whistler builds.

Because I like attention to detail, this is what the standard account looks like if they happened to get to the desktop.

Now finally, we have the settings page or control panel, which is nothing really special.

Nice concepts; a blend of old and forgotten ideas implemented in a plausible way!
I've always wondered how some of [Win9x]

Neptune's features would work out if it had released.

Edit: Also, the Control Panel link is the same as the previous one.

Carlos: anixx: Sorry for the late response. That mod will not be very useful for me because I'm using Aero Glass, not Classic or Basic theme. Sept 17, 2023 18:52:17 GMT -8 *
