    LongHorn Music Icon

    First off, I love the new icons in the WinHec Preview of LongHorn...very cool.  However, I'm wondering about the “Music” icon.  Is it just me or does it seem like not such a good idea to use a CD case with a CD coming out of it?  It looks really cool, but with more and more people buying music online or whatever in some digital format (and the fact that LongHorn won't be out for so long) doesn't something more general like a music note or whatever make more sense than a CD?  I'm sure my kids (don't have any yet) won't even know what a CD is!  ;)

    I think thats really cool honestly. It gives it meaning like a restaurant carry out is a doggie bag, or the backup icon shows a floppy disk on it (get real what are you going to backup on 1.44 MB).

    Hey I've been asking this around, maybe you can help - How can I get a blog on weblogs.asp.net or blogs.msdn.com .. ??

    I thought I was the only picky user to think that icon wasn't entirely appropriate. Oh well. I guess that makes two of us! :)

    I wouldn't say "picky"...I think "perfectionistic thinker" is more appropriate ;)
