Windows 7

There is no way it will come out next year nor should anyone want it to. When it is complete is when it should come out. Companies always put release dates on things which shouldn't have a release date on them. This forces the companies to rush the product and we're left paying the price. I would rather them take 10 years to make a perfect operating system then release one every 2 year. Operating systems have gotten so advanced that you just can't make one in a year or two.

 

I wrote about the touch aspect of Windows 7 on my tech blog a few weeks ago and welcome the touch input technology being a part of the OS. But I think we should be looking way beyond that already! I mean, it is sad when my new smart phone already has this technology and my brand new $3000 computer doesn't!

My question is where is Microsoft Speech Server!? Bill Gates was showing this off over two years ago and it still hasn't made its way into OS releases. Touch input... great... about time. When we get it, it'll already be time for Speech input!

 

no duh, they all do that. Doesnt anyone remember what Windows 98 looked like compared to XP?

Fact. My mom complains 'vista is crap' no, nothing runs because you have 5MBS OF SPACE LEFT ON THE HD!

 

They are pretty much the same there are a few tweaks but are all built on the same UI

 

Thank you, thought I was the only one.

I love Vista; the people that complain must be trying to run it on a ZX80.

Vista does what XP did but better.

A really old PC will run Windows 95 ok but will struggle with anything newer.

If you have a good PC then you won’t have any problems with Vista.

I’m in no rush for Windows 7.

Thanks Brian

 

how can you refer to an os that it's not out yet, even in beta?

 

VIsta isnt bad at all on my laptop. but having windows xp on my laptop made it a little faster but it came with vista so it runs smoothly

 

I'm running Vista on 1x1GB of ram and I am doing fine, no slowing down at all. Plus I am using Aero.

 

I thought it wasn't going to come out until 2010. I'm trying to skip Vista and just wait for 7.

 

If you skip Vista, why do you think Sever will be better?

 

It seems to me it will have useless features that I do not need. No thanks, I'll stay with Vista for now.

 

*Seven, sorry

 

Windows 7 SUX and 8 is father of all.

 

9, 10, 11...

 

why it is named windows 7 ? where is windows 6? windows 6 = ie 6.0 ?
vista = ie 7 = windows 7 ?

 

You'll have to wait for Windows 9527 for them to get the perfect OS

 

I'm still on XP and will never touch Vista as I've heard people having problems with it. Windows 7 should be interesting and maybe Microsoft can get it right this time and actually make an OS that will work 100% and not crash or blue screen.

 

It's a "code" name, I'm pretty sure they'll change the name when it'll be released like they did with every operating system till now.

Vista was called Longhorn

 

Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
Vista is version 6
Vienna will be version 7.
