Information might be light until the upcoming PDC, but it could be a good source of info on Microsoft&#8217;s next OS. I may be a Mac user, but it&#8217;s good to keep an eye on the other side of the fence. ;)<\/p>\n<p>A couple thoughts, purely on the presentation. The UI looks bearable, and seems to match some of the leaked Longhorn shots we&#8217;ve seen so far. The headers for each of the sections in the sidebar look a couple pixels too high to me, though, like they&#8217;re crowding the divider lines. Who knows how much of that is just a web rendering issue (or even a browser issue), though. Comment support, but no Trackback, which is a shame (or maybe Trackback is there, but Robert doesn&#8217;t have it turned on &#8212; I see a &#8216;Trackback&#8217; counter under the &#8216;Statistics&#8217; section of the sidebar).<\/p>\n<p>Code-wise, it&#8217;s less of a mess than I&#8217;ve come to expect from Microsoft, but it could use some improvement. While the main content is structured with CSS, the overall page is still heavily table-based. Images are missing <code>title<\/code> tags, and there&#8217;s still some ALL CAPS tags used (according to specs, HTML tags should be lower case). Still, it&#8217;s at least readable code, which is better than I was guessing I&#8217;d see when I pulled up the source, and it doesn&#8217;t seem to have any IE-specific nastiness. Maybe there are a <em>few<\/em> people in Microsoft who are starting to get a clue. ;)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Robert Scoble has started a Longhorn blog.
