Windows 7 Revealed

It has just been confirmed that "Windows 7" is the new name for the next version of Windows (it was also its codename).

More details @ WikiPedia : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_7

It feel like I've only just upgraded to Vista :eek: Plus, this is based on the Vista core - with some performance improvements.

It's hard to believe we could have a new operating system in just 9 months time, if reports are to be believed. It makes Vista sound like a stop-gap solution!

I still have to try vista, but I still dont want to, what with all the compatability issues I've heard

Windows Vista is turning out to be the new Windows ME.




A complete waste of time

Yeah I am heartbroken to have had to finally make the switch to Vista but unfortunately you can't buy a laptop nowadays without being forced into it.

I hate it though and if Windows 7 is any better I will be upgrading as soon as possible. I've already looked....there are no XP drivers for my laptop

If windows vista is to windows ME, then windows 7 better be windows 2000.

Lets hope it better then Vista (i run Vista Ultimate on one PC and after chopping out %10 and hacking a good %15 of it i have it running smooth and fast, i hope the boys at M$ labs don't have any more bright ideas like UAC for Windows 7 (bloody annoying pop up asking me do i know what I'm doing !)

Vista SP1 runs great on my PC and laptop...... I don't play games though.

If Windows 7 turns out to be rubbish i will be looking at Linux Mandriver or something .....

Fingers crossed that it's some improvement - the Beta should be out around December time so I hope to have a play with that and see what changes

Check out the latest preview, I think the UI improvements look excellent!
