They just used a square brush to cover up Vista and wrote 7 then wrote Under Construction under the loading bar

I mean you can see the strokes of the brush...

its coming in 2009, but beta builds have been tested by techblogs already, a lot of information on it is out

visually looks identical to vista, except for its new taskbar, but under the hood its much different

There is NOTHING wrong with vista.
Everyone with Vista who complains about it...has no clue what they're doing or how to use a computer.

I have never had a problem that I didn't bring upon myself. Point blank, Vista is great.

Windows 7 though, it better be BEAST.

currently, i find nothing wrong with it, but you have to admit the launch of it didn't go great and initial reaction was mostly negative


as for W7, it is supposed to be a 'beast', in fact, from what i've heard, minimum ram req. was 485MB, which isn't half bad...vista bieng the RAM hog it is.
ALSO, they are supposedly making a build of it for netbooks, which is saying somthing, as current ones are running XP or linux, so its going to be much better, and as light, if not lighter than xp (which sounds promising, especially for netbook use)

i was going to move this topic, but many other people with the power to do so have commented in it, so i wont.

anyway back on topic, vista is great. i just think manufactures should stop putting them on computers that can't handle it. like my laptop, it would be much better if it had XP. but windows 7 should be great, can't wait for mid 2009!

i use vista my self, i wasnt saying its crap, but there was a discussion about how they are making this new windows to make up for all the people that hate vista.. They are banking that the new windows will bring back there windows fans..

I really like the look of this new windows,vista and xp look good,but they're too much on the eyes.I love windows 2000 as it has less compatibility issues than vista and it has a nice simple design,it takes up very little ram and allows my laptop to run extremely fast.
windows 2000 FTW!!
windows 7 FTW!!

I for one like Vista, but my computer can more than handle it.  Only gripe as of now is the fact that RDP is disabled on the home versions and I can't activate it using the registry editor because they locked us out of it with SP1.  That and I won't switch to business vista (can do it for free from RIT) because you lose the media center abilities.

Hopefully Windows 7 has the ultimate pack for a little less money than Vista, because I'd jump on board for it this time around.

The word is "bought". You can't "brought" something.
and, a lot of people buy Vista, simply because it's a good OS.
The people complaining about it are the people with computers/laptops that can't handle its requirements and such.

i got a beta :D installed it on virtual machine ;)

anyway, it's kind of a vista and xp

the speed and ram usage of xp, and the looks etc.. from vista ;)



To all of you crying about lag and kicks, remember… when Jesus died, took him 3 days to respawn. Now THAT is lag.

yeah the way it works is supposed to be easier on your RAM (windows 7 window manager devotes RAM to active windows only, whereas Vista does for all windows, be they minimised, doing nothing, or open, doing nothing) and extend notebook battery life aswell.

see im not really likeing it all that much - i must admit its fast but i dont know theres just something about it i think its to do with the start bar just having the icons and not the lables like in vista or xp. i will see - maybe it will grow on me - who knows

plus i am running it in vmware so i may not be getting its full benefit as i cant get direct x to work

So, it's essentially got built in VMware type software.
Yaaayy...not.
I'm downloading the beta later on and installing it in VMware on my Linux partition...see how crappy it is.
