Not another thread.

It is exactly like b****y vista...

Have you seen Vista yourself?

David.

No, it's not.

The latest builds of W7 aren't Aero enabled.

Looks pretty fake to me.

Yeah, that is simply vista with the taskbar arrow button styled differently

You mean Win7 should look like linux or sth?



The man who has installed Win7 said his M1 Version is 6519.1.071220-1525
It still looks like using Vista,
I don't wanna translate the article to english coz my poor english..

Those screens are real. Don't believe me if you want but they are. There are virtually no visual differences in 7 over vista at this point, and the sidebar in 7 DOES look like that from what I've seen (don't have the build but I've seen enough to know those screenshots are real).

Very fake. Not even a good try...

If it's fake i'm sorry about that . I just want to share Sth..

Of course it looks like Vista!

The interface won't be changed significantly till years later. It was the same with XP when they built it from 2000. It's called development.

Fake. Look at the build # and then look at the compile date: 071220. If that was done by Microsoft it would have read 122007. Whomever created that screenshot lives outside the US.


Source? Why would they have disabled Aero if it the Vista SP1 code base is being used?

I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just looking to be educated here

this could probably be Windows7 but i doubt that ms would start out with making aother arrow and another feedback icon lol

The first longhorn shots where looking alike to XP. But I don't know, wasn't Blackcomb/Vienna/Seven should be totally different from Vista?

I think its genuine. Thanks for the look.

ok im not trying to troll here, but the start menu/button has been there since windows 95, right? what do you guys think should they try something new? what else could they do!?

It probably will have a different look than Vista, but no visual changes will come until after M2. At least that's the way Longhorn was. They changed the look to Plex (or whatever the hell that ugly UI was called), but I doubt they'll even consider working like that again.

I remember reading somewhere that since they started dev of win7 last year that they wouldn't have used SP1's codebase since it didn't exist yet in a reliable form.

I wonder what's all the fuss about trying to get an early screenshot. Do you realize this is 7's FIRST MILESTONE? It will NEVER look like the finished product

See, thing is, people say they want something different, but as soon as MS changes something as drastic as that, they're going to end up in the middle of a s**tstorm because people don't actually want change.

It's really too bad.

Could be real, the sidebar is missing those plus buttons and next buttons which coincide with a post saying that gadgets have be integrated in explorer.

Win7 does have Aero, the post here saying there was no Aero in his test was due to him being unable to load proper drivers as he stated in his mini review that Neobond saved.

Look at the search bars, it also confirms what people are saying, "search display" or "search all control panel"



this specific window searching was also mentioned on istartedsomething
This is interesting to say the least.

I hope they go back to the standard folder view of Win2k/XP. My girlfriend's laptop has Vista on it and it is a headache to use. If you can change everything to a legacy-look [like having a tree on the left side by default], let me know. Its horrible. If they don't make the next version more friendly, I'll be staying with XP even longer.

Faaaaaake. Looks exactly like Vista.

twas a bit pointless taking a screenshot if its just gunna be something that looks like vista.

I mean its not exactly showing anything new

edit: those other shots look interesting

Umm no, Microsoft build tags are in the following format:

Build number.YYMMDD-HHMM

Got it?

And what exactly were you expecting it to look like, Windows 95?

-Spenser

details for sb who thinks it's genuine
several versions, IA32 and X64, with or w/o debug info.



Setup is similar to Vista,It still shows Vista Ultimate and Vista Home Premium when selecting which version to Install, but has the characters “Windows 7” in the Pre-Release lisence. The system will create a 500M partition, maybe support for EFI.
reboot once during installation

some new apps, XPS Viewer EP ,PowerShell and balabala....
Recovery Center, Change font size in Display ,Windows Sensors and so on..

just copy leopard and be done with it! lol -i i always thought apple had a great OS, but felt that Microsoft's OS was great because it brought its OS to the masses. what we need is for MS to make an OS as great as OSX, but for the masses. i think thats also where the stability and stuff breaks down, the very nature of a mass market OS means that it has to work with everything -leading to flaws and holes -its a vicious cycle.

im by no means an IT guy or an expert, just a normal guy laying out his two cents.

Funny 'cause on my XP box it isn't. Maybe a bug? I'll run Windows Updates to see if I can get an update and see if it changes.

Isn't that the truth. That is one thing that is extremely annoying. They chant we want change, we want change. Then MS changes something. OMG you changed something. I hate you. Why couldnt you have leaved well enough alone. I hate "any version of windows that happens to be new at the time". M$ sucks! Blah blah blah.

Really sucks people have to be like that.

Longhorn looked like XP in the first builds then changed to Plex and XP looked like 2000 in the the first build then changed to Watercolor. I don't think we are going to see big UI changes in the first builds.

I'd love a radical change. But it would be difficult for businesses to try and support if they're users are on multiple OSes Training would be a nightmare.

I doubt there will be much difference. Here is here Microsoft ultimate goal. They are going to start producing a new Windows version every couple of years and Windows is going to move to a subscription service just like Anti-Virus programs are. So this is not a surprise that there will be little difference between 7 and Vista. Eventually there will be two Windows version in development just cause it takes longer to revamp the entire OS like Vista did. Please tell me that this isn't a surprise to most of you?

I think its real, Taskbar looks more tinted btw. I can't wait to see what will happening at PDC this year.

Is it true with everything loaded in M1 the resources approximate 4xx MB of RAM occupied?

Have they implemented MinWin in M1 or is it still too early?

Looks quite interesting, and seems to be real. But I can't really believe the mem-occupation of ~480MB. Why isn't Vista that small ? I need 1 GB of my 2 gigs just to feed Vista.

My Vista installation stays between 550MB and 750MB. I only have a gig to begin with and its just fine.. Even better with SP1 on here.

lol what a **** poor attempt.

lol at everyone calling it fake.

@statm1

If I would use only 1 gig, Vista would also reduce its memory-hunger, but now it has room, so vista uses it. im looking forward to an upgrade to 4 or 8 gigs.. and if i have 8 gigs, vista would use 2 gigs, i think. bcause it does not matter (mostly) anymore. i just installed stalker a few hours ago, and while installing, i got only 160mb ram free, means nothing worked smooth, not even my mouse-courser !

That systray one reminds me of the way KDE4 (that's Linux for those who don't know) handles plug and play hardware. It does look a lot like Vista and the only thing I like about that is they used the black task bar. Ah well, I don't intend to use it anyway.

Personally I think this looks real. As it's been stated over and over again. Vista looked like XP when it was early in development. Really though I'm more interested in how well it performs, and any new features than screenshots.

I have learned to trust Creamhackered's post's from the Longhorn beta days, this is very real. I am expecting any major revision to the ui to be kept under wraps for a while. I remember back in the day when Paul released his aero concept and everyone cried fake and it turned out to be pretty much accurate. Cant wait to see what paul digs up this time.

Well numb skull, what do you think Vista looked like in Beta1? A lot like Windows XP but with a green 'start' menu.

These screenshots are exactly what I expect Windows 7 to look like this early in the piece.

Man, this is entertaining to read.

When that "review" leaked, everyone wanted a screenshot for proof. Now screenshots are here, and people still say it's fake.

The only way everyone is going to be satisfied is if Steven Sinofsky himself posts a screenshot.

Whether you want to believe it or not, these are real.

They don't know, but I guess we have experience in Windows Beta's and know that this is exactly what could be expected from an M1 build of a new operating system.

Who cares.. get a social life and drool over the real thing when it's released.

Minwin is not new, and as far as can be determined is in Vista anyway.

Click "Organize".

Then "Layout" > tick "Navigation Pane"

Then drag the "Folders" area on the tip so that you drag it up, and over the "Favorite Links" area.

As per this....

Fake or not, is anybody actually expecting it to NOT look almost exactly like vista?

Does anyone remember First few M Builds for "CODENAMED LONGHORN"? They looked just like Windows XP with nicer themes. Same goes for what's happening now. They are in the Transitioning of the User interfaces. its with all development. Whether its fake or not I don't know, but surely we should see something by the end of 2008, if all goes accordingly to Microsoft's plan.
