  Windows 7Most of you may know that Windows 7 is the next iteration of Windows, supposedly coming out next year. We'll see if it gets pushed into 2010. Anyway, there's a Microsoft conference going on and the first real looks at Windows 7 are being made available.
Here's an article on Ars Technica. Interesting stuff. It's basically an evolutionary step from Vista... whereas Vista made alot of backend changes, Windows 7 will mostly be UI related, building off what Vista started. It sounds like they're purposefully trying to make it less annoying, which imo is the biggest problem with Vista. http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20 ... ows-7.html _________________ They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. |

It looks nice. If they hurry up Vista will just be a bad footnote in Microsoft's product line, like ME.

Agreed. Though ME was a dead end... it killed the 9x line. Vista was just the start of the Vista line. So it's probably more akin to win95a.
 For anyone that remembers, 95a was a serious piece of shit._________________ They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. |

Well, perhaps they'll start working on a completely new, truly modular OS too. Something similar to having 9x next to NT. I've heard a lot of problems with Windows reside in having to maintain (compatibility to) ancient code in Windows.

The looks of Win95 would be just fine. Just... don't creep around with a yet another hardware overkilling and by the way useless OS. (@ MS)
I might hop to Linux permanently if that one starts getting worse. Still I am glad they finally admit (in this way) Vista's total failure. _________________ ++ |
