Here's the Windows 8 Concept i've been working on the last couple of days :)
This is my first concept of this kind ;)

A big thanks to Steve (DarkNovaGamer) for feedback, providing wallpaper and giving a hand with the UI itself.

Please leave a comment :)

Wow! I think Microsoft should take graphic lessons from you guys - - I'd be happy with that design as Windows 8 :)

Nice Work!

There are limits to how the UI can be implemented. They have to make sure it wont either eat up your CPU or your GPU, and they also have to make sure it doesn't present any delay (what we call lag).

Among other things of course. ;)

Just a quick question:

I highly doubt it. You cannot create the explorer like that, thats for sure. Start menu and taskbar, should could be done, and maybe the rest can be done with some windowsblinds tool (the explorer etc)

I am planning to try though, but it might not be as good-looking as the concept is ;)

Just to clarify, he basically said, its 'possible' but it'd take a long time to figure out how, and actually make it. Then test it, fix bugs, etc. Also make it 32-bit/64-bit compat.

yeah, thats about right :p
 
Why not make a Windows Blind theme then? Would that make it easier or would it just be as hard as you thought? I'm glad you have taken in what I have said :) lol
