From what I have seen and heard, it looks a lot like that. Not identical though, but this sceenshot comes close...

Thats Cool! Also its a Microsoft OS I might actually like if the design is like that. We just have to hope for less viruses and security holes.

Cool, but unfortunately, that isn't exactly what Longhorn is going to look like. The colors and the pretty much the whole gui will look slightly different. Also, from what I've heard, Microsoft has decided to abandon the side bar feature; they claim that there weren't enough features that it provided so they decided to get rid of it. Anyway, this is just what is going around the web as of right now. Microsoft still has enough time to change a lot of things as there is still a lot of time between today and the release of Longhorn. Anyway, good find!AmeriBass

The theme supossedly is called Royale, is included in windows XP Media Center Edition 2005, and can be easily downloaded off the Net. I even have it, so obviosly it's not a huge secret (anymore).
