Developers were going to be given access to APIs that would allow them to code whatever they wanted from their application into the preview pane. This screen shot shows a lot going on: document stacks, preview pane information, contacts in the sidebar, and more.

Longhorn was going to make the most of providing as much information as it could, all in the most attractive way possible. Though you can't tell, the seemingly static image in the preview pane was actually an animation! In fact, the preview pane could consist of all moving parts, if a developer wanted to do as such for their application. In some of the later pre-cancellation builds of Longhorn, Microsoft included preview pane auroras, which all varied in color depending on the type of folder that was opened and were coded in XAML.

Rounding off the "Longhorn for business" screen shots, this is an example of multiple non-maximized windows, demonstrating what I noted earlier about Aero's translucent and non-translucent states. Needless to say, at this point, Windows Longhorn was shaping up to be quite easy on the eyes while one worked! Just about every Microsoft service that Longhorn touched was going to be given the Longhorn UI treatment, including Live services. The screen shot above demonstrates that reach and showcases how it could, in theory, work to create a seamless Longhorn experience.

Not only were you shown thumbnails while you tabbed through your selections, but all the selections would show in larger windows in the background, thus allowing you to see even more clearly what you were selecting through.

Windows Flip was a 2D visual effect, but with the most demanding version of the Aero theme enabled, one could enjoy Windows Flip 3D: a feature that still exists in Windows to this day. It's primarily a flashy effect, but when it was first mocked-up, it was a nice change of pace that fit well with the Longhorn vision.

For years prior to Longhorn, Microsoft had messed with the idea of 3D space on the desktop. In the small desktop screen shot in the lower right-hand corner of the image above, you can see what was perhaps the most drastic conceptualization of a 3D Longhorn desktop.

In it, the wallpaper and sidebar fold back out of view, much like a door opening away from you, to reveal a sort of 3D space that housed a few ideas, including revealing another desktop or simply showing more information on the current desktop.

In this screen shot, taken from an Amazon demo at PDC , Jim Allchin showed off a rather flashy Amazon browsing experience, which utilized the preview pane and one of many 3D views. To note, this demo was meant to also show off some of the underlying services that were being baked into Longhorn. The theme you see here is Slate, which was rather hideous compared to the beautiful Aero theme showcased earlier.

It was merely temporary. Personally, I wasn't a fan of it, but the window that's open, however, shows yet another take on how beautiful the preview pane could be made to look and function.
