WinFS is nice, but not really that interesting tbh. Avalon and Aero are much more exciting, Avalon will be ported over to WinXP and Win2003, but Aero will stay exclusive to Longhorn.

Those screens are from an early build, don't expect the final release to look anything like that ;)

Quote For Truth ;)

Avalon is a "new graphical subsystem that enables not only richer control design and development, but it also relies heavily on a vector-based system instead of the more common pixel-based one."

Aero is the new GUI powered by DirectX

I'll evaluate it @ work as part of our volume license agreement. If it's any good I'll have it on my home box.
