Dear god, it's so... beautiful! So... REVOLUTIONARY!

Oh wait, it's Windows Vista.

Partly agree. :/

ATM I can't imagine how this is the Major Windows Release that Microsoft is touting.

Windows 7 looks to have some nice interface fixes and the addition of the Ribbon bar on Windows Apps is pretty. But it's just far too similar to Vista.

So..what's the problem here? That is how they are moving forward so WE ALL have to get used to it..plus GUI changes come later, not this early...

..Vista has been nice to me, so I'm assuming 7 (I hope they keep that moniker) will be Vista + Steroids = Super 7. I hope I'm not wrong. :shifty:

In my opinion the problem with vista is not its gui. Its the internal workings of it all they have to do is fix that and ill be happy.

Whch of its internal workings doesn't work right?

I think every app in 7 should be given the ribbon treatment.

That's because Microsoft aren't making Windows 7 a major release, it's just to add new features and fix a lot of problems Vista had.

It's a Milestone 3 release, your not going to see any major visual refreshes for a while. Go back and look at the early milestone builds of vista and see what they look like.

You don't have much in the way of imagination then :)

Windows 7 ain't even released yet, give it time to mature into something good.

I love the fact that everyone is completely overlooking the HomeGroups feature .. if it is what I think it is, it will totally rock your Windows world ^^

[tsupersonic]

All the people that say it looks like Vista now, are idiots. Just wow, you need to go read up on some Windows history.

Brandon, prove me wrong. ;) There's a challenge!

But either way, I am excited about Windows 7. :happy:

Much agreed with tsupersonic.

Windows 95, NT 4.0, 98, 2000, ME, and even XP in the early Beta stages all had a similar UI we now call Windows Classic.

Features, not UI. UI is just being cleaned up and being kept consistent. Also, don't forget, it's early days, more features should come soon.

It looks like HomeGroups is like Vista's/WMP11's "media share" but better.

It's much more than sharing media though... if my understanding is correct, it's essentially AD but scaled down for a home network without a server.

I'm really excited since it sounds like I can now use a single profile on all of my home machines. No more need for a server box.
