Wow looks fugly... I was expecting something totally different than Vista. The media player does look good though.

^^^ be patient, its still in developement. :)

Anyone expecting big interface leaps really needs to be patient. UI is likely to be unchanged or finalised until pretty late in to the beta process. Functionality is key before aesthetics.

not looking bad. my only complain would be the dropdown menus for the "on/off" options of the system tray icons. they should do something like those sliding bars os x / the iphone have.

looking good so far.

I wish he would take a screenshot or two with the classic theme enabled to see if they have made any improvements with it since vista.

good point made :)!

I think we can confirm that there custom themes with this screenshot.

I don't really like the start menu changes, personally. All the rest look alright.

Not sure about the "Libraries" thing, either... I just liked it being my username.

(Edit: 10K! lol)

Loving the new Calculator, Wordpad and Paint applications.

If only they would get rid of that ****ty black-white gradient overlay on the taskbar...

All we can do is wait and hope for the best right? :)

I hate ppl when they expect the UI to be changed i Windows 7 when it isn't even in beta stage... :wacko:

Looking good, im excited :)

It actually looks quite good, huge UI changes aren't needed - just minor improvements. Anyway I look forwards to the day when I can square root, without having to remember to use powers.

[KeR]

Looks real cluttered, not a big fan of confusing UI's.

Well, it happens with every release of windows, people expect major visible changes. It's always funny to read "but, it looks like vista!" with the very first builds. Happened with Vista, and happened with whistler.

But I also hate it when people use the "it's a beta" card to justify the suckiness. People were still using it in vista's release candidates.

Looking Good as always more things to come

I hope they update the start-menu...

It surprises me, that you guys can't even figure that a in a new OS, the first thing they're aiming for isnt exactly to change the looks.

But in my opinion it looks pretty cool so far.

I hope they haven't forgotten tabbed browsing in explorer, that would be awesome

[roadgeek9]

Ooohhh! Pretty!

[Ambroos]

Windows Media Player looks sleek, really

Yup. I don't know if I like that new silver color scheme they're using on applications, though (instead of the turquoise-ish color). The latest Live software stuff uses it, too, and I don't like it there.
