Wasnt entirely sure what to call the thread.

I was looking around on google earlier for an Xp Professional Box picture to use for my sysdm.cpl when i realized how crap it actually looked.so i made one up just for the hell of it when i got bored. ( as you can see i am not that great )



I then thought it would be something fun for ppl todo by coming up with there own one for Windows Vista so that it might help inspire the MS design team.

you can do either flat images of the front of the box or if you are good with photoshop maybe coming up with a side shot of the box

eg



ill be looking forward to seeing ppls designs, if anyone decides to have a go

i'll have a go once i find my Photoshop CS2 CD ive lost it AGAIN!

[techniquefreak]

matt5108 - don't need to find the cd - just dl' it from the internet - that's if you have a proper connection - go to adobe.com and get it there ...

There was one I did with LH5048user at Flexbeta he named (Windows 2007 Professional) that I modified when the Vista name was released. It's in the thread: MSFN Forums > Microsoft Operating Systems - Software Discussion & Support > Windows Vista (formerly Longhorn) >Longhorns new name?

Here it is anyway, just to fill things out. I still am knocked-out by grafx1.



I feel that Microsoft may be leaning towards a darker look with Vista ..
