[Gareth]

[sargey]

I'm not surprised it doesn't look much different, I doubt they'll be concentrating on aesthetics yet, it'll all be stuff under the hood.

 

[David]

can't see the differnece with it from vista...just a different tint! lol

 

[Revels]

When is it out?

 

[ViolentJ]

When is it out?

Looking at 2010

 

[Ryan]

hopefully its faster than vista

 

[C.J]

Looks shite

 

[theduck]

slightly off topic but, when are microsoft going to stop beta testing on the paying public and actually release an OS that works out the box?

 

[guysy]

Same car different engine is all i can think it will be like.

Hopefully better start times, Loading times and overall better quality.

No doubt there will be problems though !

 

[DrR]

Well i already have IE 8, rest looks pretty standard stuff to me.

 

[JonWako1985]

Will it be as thirsty as Vista ?

 

[KDF]

Cant be any worse surely ?





Then again.. I heard a rumour the min spec was a Roadrunner

There were some windows 7 videos on youtube earlier, but they have all been removed now.

I dont think there is much planned on the UI front, apart from they are going to use the new ribbon control ala Office 2007 in Explorer.

That thing bugs me, we started using it in our applications and its balls, I can enevr find anything with it.

There is a technical preview being released pretty soon, I think wider than the normal beta program as I'm just an MSDN subscriber and I got emailed about it.

More UI changes.

They desperately need to stop trying to be OSX though...

New taskbar which, uh, works strangely like the Dock in OSX?
New wireless finder which, uh, works like the OSX one (single menu to connect etc).
Gadgets now can be anywhere on the desktop (kind of like dashboard (except they'll get in your way) or Yahoo Widgets)

Heh. Gotta love the trying

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks it's all very OSX'y

 

[funklenut]

defo, I'm running OSX in VMWare under Vista as I'm jumping on iPhone app store bandwagon in hoping of making some cash (SDK is really only supported on Mac) and I'm really not liking OSX at all

 

[David]

tbh if they take the good bits from OSX and integrate them into windows i couldn't care less. If it helps makes windows either more solid or easier to use i'm all for it. OS design will end up being fairly similar in the end because certain things just work better. Windows OSX ftw imo

When Windows 95 was first released, it needed 8Mb to run properly, now windows needs 4Gb to run properly..

Yes .. A lots changed.. It's got worse over 13 years, but a lot has.
