Does it seem like Windows 7 is really just an updated version of Windows Vista? -

The answer to your question is another question. Does it seem like Windows Vista is really just an updated version of Windows XP? Hmm...another one... Does it seem like Windows XP is really just an updated version of Windows...gulp...ME? Does it seem like Windows ME is really just an updated version of Windows 98? (Okay, I ll say no for this one.) Does it seem like Windows 98 is really just an updated version of Windows 95? Does it seem... I think you get the picture. Yes, it is just an updated Vista. And that s all it s supposed to be. Can t wait for it to come out though...

quot;So our first question to Microsoft was whether Windows 7 was a smokescreen for fixing some of the problems with Vista. “No” was the answer: “Service Packs 1 and 2 are fixing things,” said Microsoft’s Ian Moulster. “This is less about fixing things and more about building on the good stuff. This is about where we go from here.” -from macworld UK from blogs,PCworld and other places, it seems that windows 7 is kind of like adding lots of small little, useful stuff. its like Vista, but with new stuff and making what you have better. The Taskbar now sports a feature similar to Stacks, if you have multiple files in a program open they are gathered into a thumbnail preview that “stack” up when you hover over the icon in the Taskbar. a bit like the stack option in mac osx. Microsoft has more than just a few “borrowed” ideas being used to fix Vista s flaws.

actually Windows 7 is going to be a completely new OS. their redesigning it (script wise) from the ground up. soo.. i believe that most software from XP and Vista won t work on 7. visually it might look similar.. but deep down it should be completely different from what i ve read.

Considering that Windows Vista is almost 2 years old I am not surprised that Microsoft is releasing a new version of windows. Of cource it quot;looksquot; the same.. but it will have some more technical updates.

I haven t seen windows 7 yet. I ve been very happy with vista for a year now.
