Published on July 26, 2005 By Sventekoz In WindowBlinds

Does anyone know why this skin has been removed from the site? Is there a problem with it we should know about?

It could be Long Horn is no longer, and is is now known as Windows Vista.

Ahhh - I see. Thanks everyone!

I was checking back regularly to see whether there'd been anyone had managed to develop an ip package from the icons the author was using.

It's off the site again by the way. I guess KoL_ is just doing some bug fixes and the whole Vista thing.

It's been removed at Microsoft's request.

I had the feeling it was something like that.

Why?

Because it's better than fighting a lawsuit.

Is everything named "Longhorn" going to removed and if not not why did MS want this one removed?

I would assume that it depends on the content of the skin. We pretty much remove things that we receive valid complaints about.

I believe it was just a skin - I fail to see why MS had a problem with it. Anyhow it's already been dealt with.

It was a port of Port of Windows Longhorn Build 5203.....and you can't see why MS would have a problem with it?
