Windows Seven

Forbez
Well, a new Windows has been announced. This is going to be the one after Vista. The name Windows Seven is only a codename for it as it has not yet been decided upon a name for this new operating system.

A screenshot of Windows 7 Milestone 1 Build 6519:

This windows definitely be better then Windows Vista.

What are your guys views on this? What features do you want to see added to Windows 7 or removed from Vista.

Yeah I been keeping a somewhat loose tabs on Windows 7, and I have to say that I am quite unsure of why they would be releasing this so early. As a few reports speculated that is going to be release next year instead of 2010 and I have to say what are thinking, but I came across this one website about a Windows 7 FAQ and it has some interesting stuff. First windows 7 is going to be a update and not a major release, so maybe that is why the above screen still looks like vista.

Next Internet Explorer 8 will be coming with this update and so either IE8 will be on a final release sometime next year or they will be releasing it sometime this year as I mentioned in a earlier post. Of course in this new version of IE it could possibly have that ribbon interface like office 2007 has because that crew will be working on that IE, I pray they don't do that to IE8.

Of course this site made mention that the searching for files will be easier, windows more secured, blah blah blah. OF course it is funny to mention that some people within Microsoft have dubbed Vista as the new ME, so that tells you a lot about how Vista is a bust, especially at the corporate level. Feel sorry for the suckers who dropped $400 for vista ultimate laugh.gif.

I do have to say, that whatever their next operating system is, it had better be amazing, because apple is gaining some ground and if Microsoft doesn't make a good Operating System soon then they will be heading for a downward spiral to the place that is currently reserved for macs. I honestly don't have too big of a problem with this, because then game makers will start programming for other OSes like Mac and linux and I won't be stranded on windows anymore.

I guess Microsoft has some cheap developers working on the Vista team. Its a Crappy software. and as if that wasn't enough they are going to release an update called Windows 7 biggrin.gif. Which would probably be having fixes for some of the most annoying bugs in Vista and at the same time would introduce some more (new and improved) bugs biggrin.gif

I think they should wipe out Vista and start from Scratch biggrin.gif

@Saint Michael , thanx for sharing the info m8 and IE8 beta has been released. I have it installed on my Office comp. And I believe nothing is going to change in that and microsoft guys are going to release it as it is with the final release of Windows 7.

check it out if you want too
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/...e8/default.mspx

I think its worse than IE 7.


P.S. I don't use IE. I like Firefox biggrin.gif

Yeah... I think Firefox is better than IE 8 dude...

Oh... BTW, I hear that Windows Seven needs only 33 MB Space! My question is... "Is the information that I heard is right???"

thanks... smile.gif

Windows Vista is a disaster. So if Windows 7 is just going to be an "upgrade" of Vista, I don't see the point of it to be honest. With what I'm hearing, I'm not surprised Apple is gaining a market share, and even I find myself yearning to leave Windows entirely behind.

Here's hoping Microsoft manage to steer themself back on track and actually make a decent OS. The kind that Windows XP *almost* was. XP is the only good step Windows has taken in it's life - so sleek, so intuitive, and so simple! I hope they learn from their mistakes and give us something that will give even XP a run for its money.

I just hope it really stays smaller than 5 gigabytes in size and is less of a resource hog. Now that'd be good.

I really can't stop wondering why would M$ announce new version of wintendo, when VIsta isn't properly introduced to the market... I can only guess that it has something with terrible response from the corporate customers of M$... I mean, which company wants to invest millions of dollars into new computers and OS, when that OS simply doesn't do the job, plus, you can get much much cheaper OS, that works with your current equipment...

I can't say that I'm sad about M$ loosing market share, but I'm not so sure about them loosing big time... They still have a lot of grip in the home area, and in corporations... It will take Apple a lot of time to get where M$ is...

Sadly for the software community, M$ keeps developing bad software, with a lot of holes in it... And I understand why - they are pressing their developers for time, and, as a developer, I know that speedy programming is bad programming, especially if you can't have proper debug phase, beta tests, and quality assurance...

And, as I said about Longhorn (now known as VIsta), it's going to be nothing spectacular, just another crappy OS from M$, that's not worth the money...

(Argh... why all the M$ stuff? Why not just call it Microsoft like everyone else does?)

Anyway, I can't say I'll like Windows 7. It all went down from Windows XP.

(On a related note, my next comic strip is going to be about operating systems. I need people's opinions on whether specific operating systems are better or worse than Windows 2000, which I'm using as a benchmark.)

I know this is going off topic a bit, but I don't see the problems with macs, I was a windows user and have since moved to mac. They have got the right idea. Because they make hardware and OS it works smoothly. Microsoft has to lift its game.

I bet it's going to suck. Why can't they just stay with Windows XP and work on that? XP is the only Windows version I don't have complaints about (at least not major like in previous versions). It's stable, fast and has a large community of users. XP does the job for me so I don't see a reason to switch to Vista and Windows 7 in few years. Like they say, if it's not broken, don't fix it.

I dont agree with Windows 7. Bill gates has made a monopoly and windows just plainly sucks. I would laugh if microsoft goes down and Mac came up. Think about it Bill Gates runs all of the Name Brand Computers. EXp. Acer, HP, Compaq, ect. He runs every thing and there are some people like me that cant stand windows for its un stability. I haven't seen Microsoft Windows Stable ever. Now Linux that operation system can handle about anything which is including MAC. Linux is the bases of MAC and what i've read in PCMagazine. Microsoft is trying to get people to stop dreaming about OS X and Linux. Well last time i looked its more stable than windows will ever be. Think about it MAC has to build their own operating system. Has to make special hardware to fit their operating system, managed to keep it stable and run excessivly more programs at the same time with the same amout of ram, hardrive space, and processor as Microsoft and is still a better way more stable OS than Windows. So i think Microsoft is a little behind.

Sure, having a great-looking desktop is a great way to present your computer to friends or at conventions and stuff... But I prefer just a basic GUI...

Not the Windows 95 GUI but more like Windows XP Media Centre Edition (MCE) with the official "Royal Theme" on it... That was a great theme...

But anyway... The GUI doesn't have to be the most important part of an operating system... I mean take a look at command-line Unix as an example, probably THE most basic GUI ever, and so many web servers still use it these days!

All I need for a GUI is a "Start Button" with the "My Documents", "My Music", "My Videos", "My Pictures", etc, and then with the "Control Panel" and "Search" and that, and with a Recently opened Programs and a "All Programs" thing... With it, all the default stuff... Then moving on, the "Quick-Launch" Panel (Not sure if it is actually called that, its the place right of the start button)... With cftmon.exe and the Language button, then the windows tray...

Command Prompt is a must and maybe the Ultimate/Business/Enterprise versions should also have the Windows SDK and DirectX SDK...

DirectX10 is a must and should (like Windows Vista) scale its RAM usage and stuff like that to match your computer, and it should not have a huge amount of processes running, just one for the Kernel, one for GUI, one for Aero, one for Sidebar, and stuff, and that should be it! There is not need having maybe six or seven "svhost.exe"'s when they can probably make it into one file for easier management and take all the unecessary stuff out of it...

They need to work on security issues FIRST, and then onto how fast it is going to be and that and last of all GUI and other luxuries and eye-candy...

    time and wanted to keep a second user as say an administrator you could do so by setting that
