A possible Vista successor: Now blurry and boring.
Billy boy let slip that Windows 7 AKA Windows Vista# will launch “next year” and explained that XP will be phased out for everything except low-cost PCs in some markets. Is he telling the truth? Who knows. He may mean an update to the Windows internals with a Vista shell, which is the most possible roadmap seeing as how they just redid the UI. You can’t spring two major UI overhauls on people that quickly, right? Comments?
I’m looking forward to it. I think 7 will be the Windows OS that finally drops all the old crap. Apple’s had the balls to do it with every revision, with no real flak from incompatibility problems.
With the upsurge in web-based and/or free and open source apps that are much lighter and more easily portable to various OSes, I don’t think there’ll be an app hole when 7 comes out, which is probably what big businesses would be afraid of.
I think the bigger deal is that Windows 7 is not going to be binary-compatible with previous versions of Windows.
That’s what I meant above by “old crap”… although I probably could have been a little more clear. I’m looking forward to a whole new OS.
better get working on those drivers!
oh, how many TB of RAM are we gonna need to run this?
Enough ram forcing you to buy a new PC probable 6 gigs!
so MS can make more money and the PC manufactures…
I didn’t read the article, nor watch the video…but I just wanted to comment about the title…love it! Made me giggle….in a manly way of course.
It’s not going to happen, they’re going to take much longer to revise it. Do you think microsoft would rush a new OS and fuck it up like they did Vista? I don’t think so.
I can’t wait for this, so I can revert back to Windows XP.
Wow. a whopping 20+ seconds to come to desktop. Now add Mcafee, Norton, or some other virus scanner. The startup time goes even higher.
Tell me, Why do people STILL use Windows?
