VS2008: Remeber Linux anyone?

Category: , , By Suman Kar
Look at the second progressbar on the image. And to the very right -- yes, do you see a pipe rotating? That is so Linux-ish. Remember when the time when Linux wasn't so GUI-rich? This is what we would find for a progressbar:

(Also, the redundancy of the top bar leaves me speechless. Why have it there when it's done?)
