Fake. Looks a great deal like Vista to me.

Wonderful Mockup, too bad the real thing will look like a Microsoft Product. ;)

Edit: Please note, this comment was made as a humorous comment. ;)

I call fake. It seems to have progressed a tad too far than usual at this stage.

UI Designs (like tabs) would come later, surely?

[Olemus]

Fake. Looks a great deal like Vista to me.

Which is what windows 7 will probably look like when its done, and if its an early release the GUI is bound to look almost the same even if they DO change it for the final release

Exactly, I remember with XP looked just like 2000, or when Vista looked just like XP...

I say fake also. There was a couple of shots that I swear looked like XP.....the tabbed explorer had a xp look to it. Even though the outside borders were definately vista, the inside just looked like xp.

I call B.S. on this for now.

:laugh: tho some will take offense and scream "troll" :p

I'm sure they will when actually it was intended as a compliment, I love to see the Microsoft Mockups since they are often just as ornate as anything Apple Design comes up with! Sadly though somewhere along the way things get lost. Happens to us all though, I mean, look at Leopard...what happened to Mac OS's artistic look there? :p

[Angel Blue01]

Very cool, hope they take the ideas in the real Windows 7

[timmmay]

If it's fake, someone went to alot of trouble to make it!

I'm putting my faith in it to say it's real :)

[chrismaddern]

Please nobody else ever say that anything is fake because it 'looks like Vista'!! Can we stick this somewhere.... Windows 7 Builds will look exactly like Vista for quite some time!!!

As above, if it's fake; they've gone to a LOT of effort, could just be real :)

[BoDEAN]

Far from breathtaking.

[flyingroof]

Here's an idea.. wait until it's released.

[Dc'1]

I'd say its real, as said above, it would take a lot of effort to fake that just for the fun of it.

Besides, the features are probably just working, still with problems.

[williamhook]

FAKE! But some of those features would be nice. The disk manager, for example. (Y)

[Julius Caro]

windows explorer looks like a.. mid 90s? version of itself , lol

[+Fahim S. MVC]

I call it fake because it doesn't look enough like Vista - too much there were revolutionary changes to the UI where Microsoft tends to mostly take an evolutionary approach (and rightly so).

+1 :)

[Huleboeren]

I want it to be real :yes:

Doesnt matter - Ill be switching to a mac once I have the cash.....wait...never

[trip21]

FAKE, FAKE, FAKE, FAKE, FAKE! Their is no way in hell that they would be using the glass interface at this early stage of development. Also remember the Vista interface is a hastily cobbled together POC; Vista was meant to feature a revolutionary new interface, but like so much of what was meant to be in vista it got shelved to meet it's ultra late release date.

[TheElite]

That looks real. I wouldn't doubt the authenticity of it. I heard these features being implemented a bit of time ago.

[DigitalE]

That tabbed Explorer looks really ugly, in my opinion...

[Impact]

Yeah, the explorer looks really crappy. If it's fake, he sure put a lot of work into it.

[gadean]

Fake! And here's why:

I don't think Microsoft would bundle a blog designer with their OS. It's out of place. It belongs with Office.
