I just saw the demo video and I'm really starting to hate Windows 7 (codenamed Vista with touch or Vistouch). I hate the fact that I will have to go out and buy a touch screen and I can only imagine the monster of a computer it would take to run it. Why doesn't Microsoft take it one small innovation at a time and try not to make operating systems with the same requirements as a Crysis, Far Cry 2, and Gears of War Hell spawn.

Suck? What type of language is that?

Windows 7 is the next "evolution" of the Windows line of operating systems. If you think change "sucks", then go ahead and prepare your arsenal to bash Windows 7 when it's released.

Vista is a pleasant change. Aesthetics, stability and usability of the whole operating system were all greatly improved. People just clammer on and complain because of driver problems (already solved) and/or Vista didn't change as radically as they thought it would have (because of all the hype).

And about system requirements... Better processors, graphic cards and the like are released VERY often and it's quite silly to complain about requirements when Windows 7 doesn't run on your computer that has a single core Intel or AMD processor and a 128MB graphics card.

Yeah touch screen will definitely not be a requirement - heck it might not even be included in vista (we've seen it happen before - features removed). It's was a demonstration of what *could* be done. By the time win7 is released though, they will be far less expensive and more popular. They are just thinking ahead..

Dude you are so ignorant and obviously uneducated in technology. Every new version of Windows ****s all over the older one, its just that some people are so quick to judge and just say it "sucks" or some other BS just because it takes some time to get used to. So why don't you ignore all the stupid comments and jjust try it out for yourself whenever you see something new, instead of being a bitch to peer pressure. ;)

Don't be hatin mann. :p

Give MS a chance ( or at least 2 years! duh! ). It was just a DEMO.

You can't be serious about thinking it sucks without even seeing any real deal feature of 7 yet. Think about the virtualization features and others that haven't been announced yet

I hate the fact that I will have to go out and buy a touch screen

Where did Microsoft say that you will require a touch screen to use Windows 7? Have they even discussed how deep touch features will be integrated into the system?

I can only imagine the monster of a computer it would take to run it.

Where did Microsoft announce the system requirements for Windows 7?

Why doesn't Microsoft take it one small innovation at a time

They do.

try not to make operating systems with the same requirements as a Crysis, Far Cry 2, and Gears of War

They don't.

I smell a flame war about to happen

anyway its to early to tell man. and its codenamed windows 7, not Vista with touch or Vistouch ;)

I agree they need to stop rushing and take time.... vista to so long because they rush to make it the best and made many many MANY mistakes... but come on, XP wasnt always prefect. it had its downs..... enough with the Os flamewars go outside and get some fresh air

This is stupid.

We know virtually nothing about Windows 7. How could you possibly know whether or not it is going to 'suck'?

I feel like bringing up a fun SAT analogy game...

Anyone care to guess the answer?

Windows ME : Windows Vista

Windows XP : Windows ____

Catch my drift?

Anyway, that's just my opinion.

This kind of analogy is a relatively epic fail. Windows ME ended an entire operating system architecture. Microsoft abanonded DOS/9x after ME. Vista, on the other hand, ensures that Microsoft will be continuing to use NT for the forseeable future.

People that compare Vista to ME are idiots.

This is getting ridiculous now it was just a freakin demo, we know nothing else about Windows 7 at this point so how can you be so quick to judge. People seem to flame Windows and Microsoft for just about anything these days for attention. Maybe the touch screen isnt your thing, but you cant base your assumption just around that so have some patience and wait for info to come out about 7. I am actually kind of glad Microsoft is being more secretive about 7 this time around.

Win7 isn't going to suck. What I'm personally concerned about is Microsoft continuing its greed streak with the skus, like they've done with Vista. Basic should have never existed and they're are some Business/Ultimate only features that would've been welcomed additions in Home Premium. This is how it should've been done:

Home

* Media Center

* Image backup and Previous Versions

* Deskscapes

* Aero Interface w/optional GDI accelerated classic theme

Business/Enterprise Editions:

* Domain Joining

* Image Backup and Previous Versions

* Bitlocker Encryption

* Aero Interface w/optional GDI accelerated classic theme

* Extra Administrative tools (ex. gpedit)

If they would just get back to basics and stop the marketing dept. from ****ing things up, then 7 will be very nice :)

We will hardly use touchscreen with windows 7 ,it will be a nice optional for people who want to go nex gen :)

Exactly, much like voice recognition in Vista. Heck, or even the current Vista touch screen capabilities. It fully supports handwriting recognition and stuffs, but you aren't required to use any of those features.

    • Nvidia GeForce NOW gains support for seven more games as discounts continue by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There's a brand-new update rolling out to Nvidia's GeForce NOW streaming service, and like every week, that means more games have received support on the platform. This week's drop has additions like Aphelion and Pro Cycling Manager 26 attached to it. Don't forget that the GeForce NOW summer sale is still active too. This limited-time offer drops the 12-month Performance membership from $99.99 to $64.99, saving members $35. At the same time, the 12-month Ultimate membership is currently going for $129.99, dropping the price by $70 from the original $199.99. Moreover, Nvidia reiterated that support for GOG single sign-in and game library is incoming this summer, joining stores like Steam, Ubisoft Connect, Battle.net, and Xbox. "Connect supported game store accounts and stream titles with GeForce RTX power. Games that include cloud-save functionality help keep progress intact across devices," added the company. "Start a game on one screen, pick up where playtime left off on another, and spend less time managing installs and storage space." Here are the games joining GeForce NOW's supported list this week: Embers of the Uncrowned Demo (New release on Steam, available 13) Pro Cycling Manager 26 (New release on Steam, available June 15) Aphelion (Steam) Citizen Sleeper (Epic Game Store, Free from June 18-25) Megastore Simulator (Steam) OPERATOR (Steam) Super Meat Boy 3D (Xbox, available on Game Pass) Keep in mind that, unlike subscription services like Game Pass or EA Play, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers. There is also a limit to how many hours subscribers can use the service per month, with extra time being purchasable in chunks.

    • Most AI-powered mainframe migration vendors expected to fail by 2030, Gartner warns by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels You may have read that many companies still run code written in ancient programming languages like COBOL and pay a handsome sum for those who can maintain that code. Well, it looks like this area of the tech world could be the scene of an AI bubble. It turns out that there are mainframe exit vendors, helping companies move their legacy mainframe systems to modern cloud environments or servers such as Microsoft Azure and AWS, using generative AI tooling. Unfortunately, 75% of these vendors are now expected to pivot or cease operations as market realities take hold by 2030. Alessandro Galimberti from Gartner said: Some of the companies in the mainframe exit market are IBM, 21CS, BMC, Broadcom, Rocket Software, DXC, GTSG, and Kyndryl. The reasons some of these firms are expected to quit the market are a reset of market expectations and a decline in demand for one-size-fits-all migration solutions. The reset in expectations is likely to be driven by cost overruns and threats to business, and the potential occurrence of critical failures within businesses as a result of bad transition implementations. These insights from Gartner are pretty interesting because it’s a specific area of the market where doubt is being cast on generative AI. Many people have cast doubt on whether AI companies will successfully justify the massive amounts spent on GenAI to date, and this data from Gartner suggests the road could be rocky for GenAI.
