Do you think Windows 7 will be good, or bad?
This is a screenshot of one of the earliest builds of Windows 7:
And heres a link to page containing a video where they show off the new features from the 2nd build:

Also an accidental screenshot from microsoft on one survey:
Anyway, what do you think? I think I won't get it; paint will be crap if it's a touchscreen PC.
Too early to judge really "/
Heard of vista?
Abit to early to judge lol
Its coming out in 2010, well, planned at least. And the UI WILL be changing.
What will happen to Habbo?
..NothingQuote:

It will be eveything Vista and Long-Horn were ment to be. :)
Well that's what people are saying anyway.
Does anyone actually read my posts?
The UI will be changed, they always use the previous window's UI in the early BETAs
I read somewhere that the UI wouldn't have any dramatic changes as they're concentrating more on fixing the way things work etc?Quote:

This shouldn't have been posted, seeing as its much too early to determine whether or not the product will be good.
2010 is too early for yet another Vista, most people don't even have bloody Vista.
They should make there current product decent rather than burry their head in the sand and hope it will all go away
Vista is decent, its just the people who say it isn't don't have a clue what they are talking about and read all these hate posts on the internet.
Vista is actually very good.
I heard loads of hate things on the internet then my (75) year old granfather bought a laptop, and vista is actually good!Quote:

I also think that people are against vista because its now the common thing to do... I don't see how it is that much WORSE than XP? Yes it has higher system requirements but XP had much higher requirements than Windows 98 and 2000. Everyone complained then too but finally accepted it.
Apparently none of you know is that Windows 7 is the Vista kernel, just being built up on with all the errors fixed.
What Windows does is raise the system requirements forcing manufacturers to speed up processors and release higher specs, thus giving you faster PC's and more hardware to play with, if anything you should be thankful for Vista.
You say whenever someone doesn't like it that they don't have any idea what they're talking about, that's not true, some of us have genuine reasons for not liking the OS. I don't like Vista because I think it's a resource eater, and it overall incompatible with a great deal of things.Quote:

Here's a few more screenshots found of it:
Most of which from http://www.thevista.ru (russian).
Meh, I don't see the point of it, it's not really different to vista. I like this feature:

On the right of the taskbar, there is a lighter patch. I wonder what that's for?
It's more then a kernel - Julie Larson Green was pointing out the touchscreen features and the taskbar caught someones eye (not to mention the fact that it is touchscreen too):

They now say it's a cheaper, more compact version of the 10,000 pound table thing. "Microsoft Surface".
i actually think windows 7 will be decent
as for some posts in here, i hate how people hate vista so much. they are usually people that know nothing about the OS itself.
I had an argument with my friend at school, he heard so much bad stuff about vista he had actually decided that xp was better without vista, although he hadnt used vista before... (what a douche!)
As i say, people who hate vista havent used vista or just dont know how to use all the features yet.
People say that no programs work with vista, the drivers dont work. rubbish. I can get any driver i want for my pre-vista mobo/gfx card (and that was within 6 months of having vista when it first came out)
&&&& whoever said that there wasnt a back button in ctrl panel before:

Moving on...
Im hoping windows 7 will carry on from vista actually because i really like the OS. Theres admittedly a few things that could be tweaked, but i would like to see a full 64 bit os, forcing bloody software dev's to make their products 64-bit compatible
I got so annoyed i reverted from 64 bit to 32 bit

I have to agree about the points made mostly here; although it might be less then two years, they haven't given a proper release date yet (I think).

I've deffo got a back button in control panel etc... :|
Sounds good but will it perform?
We will have to wait and find out..
It's too early to judge, give it time.
Exactly.Quote:

With Vista it seems that I'm needing even more, and waiting even longer. Vista does have some handy features, but to me it's not worth the extra requirements at the moment. Perhaps a few service packs later (and some updated drives, more compatible applications) and I'll start to support Vista. It's all personal opinion, you have your opinion on what you like to use and I have my opinion on what I like to use.Quote:

I think it will be ok, its ment to be what vista was ment to be. I saw a video of someone using the toutch screen fearures and that was very impresive, but the new start bar looks crap :(
Nothing :SQuote:

Vista doesn't use much RAM atall if you don't have much RAM. OS X is also a RAM hog.
Incompatibility is more important than resources, and it hurts when I'm playing games. It's like saying, "well the money's there, why not spend it?" why not safe the money. It's using the resources for the sake of using the resources. "Oo my start button is transparent until I maximize a window!" The Aero Experience isn't worth it for me. If I like what Vista looks like I'll get a free XP skin, put a vorb program on for the nice little orb start button, stick Windows/Google Desktop Search on, and get vistart (if I wanted to go into further detail with this I could also get the icons and tray icons etc). It would be free and make XP look like Vista, only it would be compatible with what I do. As I've said it's all about opinion, my opinion is that I prefer XP over Vista, I've given both OS a fair try. You're not going to magically change my mind about Vista with a few words:P. Microsoft will have to change my opinion when SP2 is released.Quote:

And Jewish Bear's post above is 100% correct.

Stop complaining and turn them off.Quote:
