Another video shot by Ankur Sadhoo – the best we’ve seen so far

The curtain has been raised (slightly) on the next installment of Microsoft’s Windows operating system – Windows 7.
Microsoft hope it will bring the internet, mobile phone and PC closer together. But reviews have so far been mixed, although reviewers have been limited to trying the (pre-beta version).
The full version is expected to be capable of working with a touchscreen screen, navigating documents and the Web similar to Apple’s iPhone. It is officially released at the end of 2009.
“I have seen the future, and it is bleak. Windows 7, the next big version, the one that was supposed to fix everything that was wrong with Vista, is here (at least in pre-beta form), and I can now say – with some confidence – that Microsoft has once again dropped the ball.
“Overall, I’m extremely disappointed with Windows 7. Far from atoning for Vista’s sins, Windows 7 simply carries them forward, visiting them upon yet another generation. Windows 7 is no panacea. Rather, it’s just more of the same: slow, bloated, and frustrating as hell.”
“When it comes to Windows 7, Microsoft hasn’t just learned from the mistakes of Windows Vista. It has picked up a thing or two from Apple’s OS X, judging by first impressions.
“It’s not clear how big the changes are so far. If you put the beta-build of Windows 7 side-by-side with Windows Vista, you’d be hard-pressed to spot the differences. Yes, some of the icons look slightly different and there’s no sidebar, but it’s essentially still the Vista look and feel. But that changes when you start to use Windows 7.
“For a start the OS won’t nag you as much; many notifications are banished to a control panel, you get to approve icons before they show up in the system tray and Microsoft has reined in Vista’s useful but annoying UAC prompts; you can choose which ones you want to see or turn them off altogether.”
“Initially Windows 7 looks similar to Vista, but there a lot of new features that have been added. Under the skin, Microsoft has been working hard. Boot times have been reduced, and certainly the review laptop Microsoft provided has a fairly snappy boot time.
“Microsoft has been working with OEMs to improve battery life – simple things such as reducing the timer frequency can improve battery life by up to 10 per cent. The networking stack has had new diagnostics added to help users figure out exactly where the problem lies.
“So, is this all a big deal? It’s not a change to the fundamental core of Windows, and most of the improvements sound relatively small. But taken together, they seem to address many of the issues people have had for Windows. I’m looking forward to trying it out, starting this afternoon.”

if you took that seriously, youre an idiot

That means get a new computer, and stop using your Pentium 3.

the DVD burner out of some junk Toshiba Core 2 Duo worked wonders in my iBook G3 600MHz. it also let me double the buy-it-now price on eBay. it sold
most PC add-in components don’t have Mac OS drivers because the Mac hardware has them built in. Ethernet cards? they aready have GigE. video cards? the only Mac with an expansion slot is the Mac Pro. Sound cards? they already built in something good enough to satisfy most Macfags.
leave them be, they like their Macintoshes

Apple isn’t trying to compete with botique shops and custom builds

hey im looking for a good man to you-know-what my brains out
at 10:21 pm
yeah nice, but they f*cked it up on 01:25

thats how slow the new windows 7 renders the logo on my screen

Just fire the marketing people, or they are the undercover for Apple. It just uncover the weakness of Windows family and reminding people about it.

Another prove that Windows is so slow. 4 boring minutes.

True, PCs will not slow down because of porn, however porn sites are legendary for containing trojans and other such nasties that prey on unsuspecting people.

I have never seen so many things fall over as here.
Not only that, but when just a bit looked like it would stand up, some Microsoft person caused everything else to go down.
And I see that Microsoft personnel have nothing better to do during their day than watch someone playing with Dominoes.
The one thing that stopped the balloon going up was Windows (in the roof). Maybe next time, windows will be open, the balloons will view the landscape and we can call the new version “Vista”.

As for calming down.. I am in no way agitated. I randomly will use the caps to showcase emphasis on certain words.

You’re talking about the CPU being the same (Apple now uses Intel x86 processors). But by using the word “hardware” you’re insinuating that both Apple Computers and general PCs use all of the same components (hardware = components) which is just not true. The majority of PC add-in components do not have Apple OS/x drivers. Apple’s driver library is much smaller than Microsoft’s. This has a lot to do with the PCs intended market (customization).

I think you need to relax a little. First off, stop putting random words in caps when you’re typing comments.
Anyone who knows anything about computers will know that you can customize a non-Apple computer very easily and build it to be much better than any Apple computer out there. Apple computers are just average computers with their own OS and great marketing that attracts the average ignorant users to them.

Same hardware, different firmware and software.
Which is why it is possible to run a Windows operating system on a Mac (which would not be possible to do on the PowerPC processors).
Of course, the hardware available is very limited as Apple completely decides what is available on their systems (i.e. not very customizable at all).
Also, please keep in mind that PC stands for Personal Computer… something that all Apple computers are. (I hate how they call others PCs when they are also).

I run an eVGA Classified Hydro motherboard. Good luck finding ANY MAC with as good a motherboard (hint there are no MACS with as good a motherboard). Then of course there is my Tri-fire Radeon HD 5870s which again you cannot get on a MAC. Face it.. MACs compete with HP and Dell NOT WE THE TRUE PC users (custom PC users).

mo it isn’t the same hardware. Apple Computers come with a special line in their “BIOS” which OS/x looks for to allow installation. This means that unless you HACK a PC you won’t be able to run OS/x on it. And if you do run OS/x on it and attempt to sell the machine, Apple will sue you. So no it’s not the same. Then of course there is the fact that custom PCs can be built with far higher quality components than any Apple Computer.

Ironic that the balloons all get stuck on the windows isn’t it?
at 10:21 pm
Una analogia a todos los windows, mas lento que la cresta y mas encima no se carga bien una linea del domino, parece que nada cambia jajajajja

PC > Mac

Yes. Most were a bunch of Microsoft engineers celebrating Windows 7.
at 10:21 pm
The engineer?
at 10:21 pm
It’s the same hardware… Ever since Apple switched over to intel processors…

hilarious fail
