Stop the remake!

I might upgrade to that on the PC, I'm still running XP on that (lulz)

Must I prove to you how good we are together?

so, how long before it's out. I bet they will not give vista a long life, as how unpopular it became

---

But...I like Vista. It's pretty.

I want David Blue.
Right now.

I think they should change the interface again, but have it so the specs are the same for the Vista Aero interface.

---

What do you mean?

This OS is based on the vista core, although lighter so if it works under vista it will work on 7.

Also, to answer the person who asked when it was coming out, from what we can gather, end of 2009. It is a little hard to tell, but it sounds like that is the number everyone think.

I mean, I don't like how vista looks.
I like the aero interface, but not the new start bar, etc..

Tha sounds/looks pretty interesting. They should change the name. Maybe Windows Condo or Windows Extreme.

---

Name is confirmed and set in stone.

It will be Windows 7 for sure.

Anyways, I like it. Im liking the new interface. I think its just different enough from Vista that people will get that its not the same OS, and wont expect it to be (even though I like Vista).

My only qualm is the Mac users. It has a slightly OSX feel to it, and I know the Mac users are going to be all "They totally stole that from us" attitude. In reality, if it was stolen from anyone, it was stolen from KDE 4.0

Either way, Im liking it. I love the lightweight core. I love the fact that it will run like a powerhouse on my desktop, and I will still be able to use it on a Netbook type machine. I like how they are moving towards integrating Zune with Windows (nothing official, but theres alot of side talk, and just look at the WMP interface, it looks ALOT like Zune).

I like where MS is taking this. Im hoping that it will all be tight, and just work. Thats the important thing. If there is a bunch of drivers issues (shouldnt be) then Im jumping ship.

Oh, and the Networking. They have already said it will be improved, and Im really hoping for some tighter integration with Windows Home Server. I think that could only work in their favor.
