First look at Windows 7's User Interface

At PDC today, Microsoft gave the first public demonstration of Windows 7. Until now, the company has been uncharacteristically secretive about its new OS; over the past few months, Microsoft has let on that the taskbar will undergo a number of changes, and that many bundled applications would be unbundled and shipped with Windows Live instead. There have also been occasional screenshots of some of the new applets like Calculator and Paint. Now that the covers are finally off, the scale of the new OS becomes clear. The user interface has undergone the most radical overhaul and update since the introduction of Windows 95 thirteen years ago.

hmmm i prefer the vista UI :/

but im sure you will be able to patch it and change it

it looks like vista but only a tiny bit different

I think it looks nice!

Need to change it up so they push Vista out of the picture as much as possible lol.


I really hope this nice new OS will really improve security and really cut down on the spyware and viruses etc.

Looks very good...and user friendly. I especially love the glass effect when you want to peek at a specific window or at the desktop.

Are there any real screenshots available, or must everyone suffer the ARS distorted view?

Honestly, I don't see a point of splitting the forums in two just because a new version of Windows is being released.

Meh I don't want to make it look like I'm demanding something from him. My suggestion is to simply buy a new domain that is not specific to either vista or 7 but still is for windows (i have an idea or two for good ones that would work well for the theme of this community). Then, copy over this forum to the new domain, move a few topics from the sevenforums, and then make both sites redirect to the new one.
