i really hope they can bring it together this time.

 

it looks very similar to vista.

 

Vista is already a great OS and I don't need a OS that is called like the capitol of Austria at the moment. Will see, what will be in some years. DirectX 12 anyone? ;P

 

Because of the theme.

I hope this is going to be less of a system hog than Vista, and MS would realize that the mainstream market doesn't use 95% of the stuffs they put in.

Seconded.

 

meph. It really doesn't look that special. At least they finally realize that bombarding the user with icons and toolbars was a bad idea. Minimalistic people!

I read that Windows 7 will come with dx11 and touch screen and other new features as well.

 

minimum specs for it should be like xp, then it would become even popular.
And, yes because of the theme it looks like vista but working would be definitely different.

 

yes im really hoping they shrink down all the crap they put on. should run faster as software advances, not slower.

 

Not too sure about the faster part. I've seen a demo of this stuff.

Feels like my EeePC running an nLite version of XP. Of course it's fast, but it's comparable to a quad-core running full Vista only.

 

Calm down people, it's just the third Milestone. I bet my balls that they will restart the project from scratch some time, just like they did with Longhorn.

The pics are looking good though.

On a side note: THEY WILL FINALLY UPDATE PAINT AND THE CALC HAHAHA

 

Let's hope its not as big an epic fail as Vista is! I'm gonna go from XP SP3 straight to Windows 7. Take that Vista!

 

The look seems very close to Vista look, but the changes could be more deep. They are for exemple working on faster boot times.
What would be great is that they could remove theses *%µ!:/$$ damn messages about admin rights (Are you an admin? Are you sure you are one? Click on the right left on the screen, then say " I am an admin" to confirm...irritating...).

Revert back to XP

 

Revert back to XP

I didn't install Vista on none of my machines for that. I tried it from friend's PC...After testing, I decided Vista wasn't for me now...

It's gone in SP1 on Vista.

Anyway, Server 2008 was fast enough, so hopefully... this would be at least as fast.

And on a side note, I bet that no matter how fast it boots, it can't beat my EeePC. 13-second boot, anyone?

Do not forget you got also a light version of XP for the EeePC.

are you serious??:lol:

yeah same with me too

 

I personally don't like vista, but given the fact that so many people have put so much effort behind it, I appreciate it more. If they come up with dx11 then what will happen to the current gen graphics cards?

The same thing on a desktop takes 30 seconds to boot. No excuse there. And it's not because the Eee has an SSD either because my desktop HDD reads and writes many times faster than the Eee's SSD.

A full install of XP takes 35 seconds to boot on Eee whereas it takes about 50 seconds to boot on the desktop.

 

since the theme looks exactly like Vista, it makes me think this is just a tweaked version of Vista, which would be epic fail again.

Vista is too much fail to *tweak*, they need to start from scratch and build a slick-optimized OS with a decent GUI.
its pretty sad that a company with that much money can't do such a task...

It is a tweaked version of vista... just like the first Longhorn builds were tweaks of XP...

 

are you serious??:lol:

Yeah it is. But I don't want to argue with anyone or create a XP vs. Vista Wars again. IMHO it's a better OS than XP and you just have to learn to work with. A short view on a friends house etc. isn't enough to build a opinion on it.

 

I like Vista it look, feel, and it's faster than XP and its has fewer BSODs. I won't go back to XP ever again. Today's hardwares (cpu and gpu) are more than enough to handle Vista.

People with a 10 years old pc expect theirs pc to run windows vista smoothly need to be realistic

 

I bet my balls that they will restart the project from scratch some time, just like they did with Longhorn.

Windows 7 is using a new minimalist kernel.

are you serious??:lol:

I've been running Vista Ultimate 64bit for awhile. I appreciate the extra features and I've had absolutely zero problems.
