I'm not sure what your point is... were you expecting something else? If you dig around a bit you'll find stuff from Win95 and probably before.

my point is that it is sloppy. someone should have noticed this besides me. particularly someone at Microsoft.

I don't know what you're getting at either.

Is there a problem with the graphics? Or do you think that MS should redesign all the icons and graphics every time they release a new OS?

ok the screen shot is from server 2003. which does have the ability to run the luna theme however by default it is not installed. and the icons for the things like the network conection have all bee redesigned also. I think that the expample should reflect this.

Well submit it to microsoft as a bug. I'm sure it'll be high on their list to fix.

I agree they should update some of thier older icons.


I don't like seeing them on my LCD with cleartype enabled.

if it works - why change it - also why confuse people with new icons...


Also - a Server O/S - most admin's could not care less how the icons look - they are more conerned wth the O/S to function - hence why the theme's are off.


Would you prefer a pretty Server O/S - or a working one?

If you want pretty icons - use XP.

Ithink i would prefer MS working on the inner of an O/S as opposed to the pertty outside.
