Windows Seven/Vienna Screenshot(s)

[Brandon Live Veteran]

Wow. The fact that anybody even considered for a moment that could be real is depressing. Come on guys, if you're going to fake something at least do a better job than that.

[S.MULLA]

looks nice...

[KHaKi-]

look at the color distortion around the text that says "windows seven evaluation copy" and the number. its so obvious (N)

[Brandon Live Veteran]

Looks like something you could do with ObjectDock or one of those similar apps. As I said, anything you see at this point will be fake.

[goji]

I think its safe to suggest we shoot the messenger.

I bet at this point if early stage of Vienna is running in MS labs has no skin at all.

Since they're probably not going to start on it until Longhorn server is out, or they will start on it in a bit, once the whole Windows Team change is done. I say it's so early that they're still using the Vista UI. Any core changes would be done first, new features added, and then come the UI changes.

[Ambroos]

Of course it's real!! Microsoft would certainly make the icon size of Word and Excel different and use a background based on a IE7 promo image...

Fake fake fake fake fake fake fake, fake on you!

Windows Vienna may look like windows vista right now but with minor UI changes subtle little differences . i am thinking real world showing of it or leaked version of it may happen as early as November this year as well longhorn showed early shots on the web as of july of 2001 with minor differences from windows XP. so we will have to wait and see.

To be onist if Vienna (Windows Seven) comes out totally like vista but with a major overhaul on the UI by this i mean Give it a brighter look nice white theme or something but o well i still stand by my comment on Page 3 :)

If it was a Lab build you would just see MSDOS nothing else due to it's still in development they might have a test UI (Mostly Windows Classic) but nothing else it would be plan and basic :)

The dock is the worse UI disaster ever. Completely utterly useless, Ms would never crippple themselves that badly. As much as they have copied and crippled themselves in the past, they know the reason Mac stays at 1% and it's that shameful thing called the dock.

thats the most ridiculous statement ever...

keep spreading your wisdom :p

oh and the marketshare is "slightly" higher... :rolleyes:

Glassed Silver:mac

[hotdog666al]

I'd love to see Windows looking like that, I'd laugh so hard! XD

[primexx]

The ribbon idea is by far the most probable guess of what it's really going to look like, since it has in fact been mocked up before too. The "screenshot" from OP is obviously fake. If Vienna is even started yet it'll be using the Vista UI.

[starmatrix]

if this were real...one of the few times I would actually agree with the macboys who claim anything with round corners is a ripoff of osx

[elONEam]

This could be any operating system - it's just a dock

[Brandon Live Veteran]

I bet at this point if early stage of Vienna is running in MS labs has no skin at all.

Hypothetically, I bet it would look just like Vista :p

[racedude]

That could very easily be duplicated. You could photoshop the build number and stuff into the wallpaper. Hide the taskbar and icons, and run two docks on top of each other. And the dock with the four icons looks VERY much like the CrystalXP.net rocket dock theme.

Fake.

Simply because as we've seen with Vistas development, MS start with the same UI as the previous OS, and then change it later down the line (look at the first builds of Vista, they look identical to XP near enough).

i have to agree with that. microsoft would probably put in a couple minor changes (for one thing it wouldn't say vista at least as much) but the most work in the beginning is almost always on the more internal stuff, such as the kernel etc.

The Dock comes from NeXT/OpenStep, which Apple purchased and based Mac OS X on. I'm fairly certain I read that Apple patented both the Dock and it's Genie minimizing effect.

Apple's legal department did send a cease and disist order to the developer of Y'z Dock. Not sure why RocketDock is still around.

pretty much. when steve jobs left apple and formed next, they invented the dock and then patented it. when apple then acquired next (and thus took back steve jobs) they had the patent. the reason why objectdock is still around is because it's quite different from the osx dock. rocketdock, on the otherhand, isn't very easy to tell, because it is much closer to osx and in some ways is even closer than y'z.

Hmm, I tend to believe this post more than the image, I wonder why? :p

[Xero]

I think its either fake or they are just playing with new features of the "sidebar" aka moving it around and its just something they tried. But I'd have to say its fake, but you never know.

[rr_dRock]

AND I CAN ASSURE YOU ALL THAT I HAVE NO FREAKING CLUE WHY THIS EVEN MADE FRONT PAGE..

toly rediculous.

and toly untrue

mac fanboys rejoice. your time has come to participate in a thread that you might be RIGHT in for once.

Remember Brandon is Physics cause he knows things a before we do as Microsoft locks him in to a Black coated Room and uses his abilities to tell the future. soon as Microsoft is done with you Brandon they will **** you to mexiaco to work for the mexian army and you will then be ask to live a new life and be called Ralf or Ralu or frank. so any thing brand can reveal to us he well soon forget and well be logging in to neowin as one of those 3 names. he he

vienna at this stage is more like vista.

[Brandon Live Veteran]

I have no idea what you just said.

[simmorya]

i think microsoft will be focusing on Windows Fiji now. Also, the Ribbon UI will most likely be evolved for Windows Seven
