Longhorn PDC Build 4051 Includes New Slate Theme

When Longhorn debuts this october 26th at the Professional Developers Conference in LA it will debut with a whole new theme code-named “Slate”. The Longhorn PDC build (4051) was decided around two weeks ago. Since then lucky company employees have had the chance to use the OS or take a look at it but are under strict orders not to talk to anyone about the PDC build.

A little over an hour ago and two pictures (which are confirmed to be real) leaked onto the internet showing the new theme. Although they’re not the best pictures they do however highlight the new theme very well. The leakers known as “ABSO1ut3 1nfin!ty & B3y0nD” leaked the well documented 4029 screenshots and the ISO around 2 months ago. Included in the package is a set of Q and A’s of the following:

Q: What build is the PDC build of longhorn? A: Why that would be build 4051 my friends!

Q: Is AERO going to be incorporated into this build? A: No. It will be demoed but you won’t see AERO until much, much later.

Q: Is the theme still ‘plex’? A: No! You’ll be delighted to see that plex is gone my friends! Instead, we have a lush black theme! What’s the name of this lovely new theme you ask? Why “Slate”, of course!
