I really hope that's not all Windows7 has to offer. I mean nice features, great ideas, and probably great improvement in performance, but you, Microsoft, have a complete 3D desktop engine up and running which currently maybe uses 1% of its power, you have .NET 3.5 built in with all the power of composition and animation. Come on, show us that Windows7 won't be a Vista SP2, or ME, or whatever. You dared to pull the switch with Office, so grab the balls and do it again with Windows. (Y)

i hope they dont merge sidebar with explorer

that will make the explorer worse then as it is *it stop responding some times / crush *

and sidebar sometimes hangs

merging the two will make windows more crushy

hopefully the make the explorer more reliable in W7

PS : and No i don't install crapwares in windows and spec in my sig

If you havent yet figured out the purpose of the button to the right of the clock take a look at this shot http://screenshots.winfuture.de/1222531134.jpg and it pretty much explains it. (classic changing the UI and turning it into a very obvious button)

I'm loving the fact that the arrow for showing more items in the taskbar now goes up .... VERY VERY NICE!!!!

All changes are welcomed as long as the OS is completly streamlined. I really hope my current hardware will run windows 7 as i am broke and will be til 2015.

Edit:

I would really like to see directory opus features in explorer... dual pane and such .. obviously dumbed down for the average joe but still very useful!!!!

All I'm hoping is that my backup rig (Athlon XP) can run Windows 7 :D

^Porting all the 3.1 themes I see :huh:

You can do that too with Vista you know. Right click on the Desktop > Personalize > Window Color and Appearance. Nothing involving Windows 3.1 besides the contrast themes

Explorer is the key to the next version, make it powerful and efficient whilst keeping it light weight and they wont need any gimmicks or adverts, geeks will love it and that will pass down to the normal person on the street. Give people choices on how their system should present itself

Windows 7 is coming along very nicely. It's nice to see that they are finally getting into the guts of the system and finally fixing up all the old legacy icons, as well as removing the ancient monitor bezels from Personalize.

BTW, does anyone know if Windows 7 is still using the Win2000/XP-era logon/logout boxes? (They also appear when trying to remotely access another's PC.) I hope those are gone.

I hope they add some consistency to the logon UI. I hate how in Vista it goes from the black background of the logo animation, then BAM! bright green/blue login screen. Keep it black and minimal imo.

They've been doing this since XP. It feels like they'll never finish!

i hope they give you more options for the "basic" theme or atleast make the colour scheme match whatever you set it to on aero

i have my aero set to "greyscale" then all of a sudden when i open a app thats incompatible with aero im greeted some horrible bright blue windows etc

I'm confused about Gadgets.

So there is no sidebar in Windows 7, how do Gadget's stay aligned and such?

Not sure about this. But for the sake of sanity, when I click on 'Computer' or 'Network' on my start menu.. It would be good to see a heading like 'Explorer - Computer' or 'Explorer - Network' - centered, instead of a blank transparent window header. Oh and an icon representing 'Computer' or 'Network' would be nice too.

    • When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!
    • Same, never saw it on Android or iOS. Guess only some people got it *shrugs*
    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
