Awesome. Props for the iPod clickwheel. I miss my Classic!

So friggin’ cool. I think it’s really fun and when you can instantly entice people to click around and explore then you have already succeeded.

You've nailed the feel. Ignore the nay sayers!

That Windows XP loading bar brings me back. Great job.

I mean... I like it. I remember your post from last time where, apparently, I got the top comment.

It looks like you've dealt with the UX issues I ran into previously (e.g., back/forward behaviour), but I did almost immediately spot a different oddity in your portfolio...

When you click on "My Projects" and then use the left nav to switch between "All", "Image", "Web", etc., it highlights the relevant projects rather than filtering out the irrelevant projects... which does feel a bit weird. I guess I understand it give you only have four projects in there but that's perhaps the other issue: I'd really like to see more projects than you're showing off here.

But, I mean, I still like it - I really like it. It's a lot more characterful than the vast majority of other portfolios I've seen and the attention to detail is very strong overall.

Again, something I said last time that I'll repeat here: if you were applying for a design or UX role with this I'd certainly interview you. I'd have to be unhinged not to.

(And, FWIW, I thought I gave you fairly balanced feedback, but clearly managed to piss a few people off so maybe, again, we'll both be in for another roasting - or at least a rather mixed bag of comments. Regardless, I wish you the absolute best.)

I love it. But I'm missing the Game Boy cheat code to unlock the goodies...

Not to criticize your work too harshly, but you specifically call out that this showcases attention to detail, and it's actually very inaccurate to the actual Windows XP, for anyone who's ever used it before. The UI elements are all haphazardly sized relative to each other, there are alpha-fade ins/outs, the loading bar in the boot screen animates smoothly when the real thing popped along block-by-block, fonts are antialiased when they shouldn't be, hover-over dropdown menus appear/disappear instantly when moused over, the fake scanlines are just a pixel grid overlay, the selection box on the desktop is filled but should be a dotted outline... these are just the few I saw and I haven't used XP in years.

This is so sick. Laughed hard when the iPod wheel worked as expected with my mouse and I was able to get Bomfunk MC's playing. Great stuff!

I commented on the original post and I still don't understand the point of a "Visual Designer" basically reimplementing Windows XP in the browser. What are you trying to show off?

Also, it seems very buggy with the visuals. I see weird artifacts.
