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.”

@IgnorantPCFanboys so a program is only a client
at 3:39 am
@OmegaFuckingWeapon then define a program for me
at 3:39 am

at 3:39 am
think of a program as a penis and the cumshot as the game lol
at 3:39 am
i run a t4c server running the server is a program… the client to open it is a program playing the game is not a program
at 3:39 am
because a game is not instructing anything but itself a game belongs in a totally different catagory… its like a bubble while the programs work around it the game itself is not a program
at 3:39 am
@mda40000 First of all.
2k is xp, but xp had major improvements. Just like 7 and vista.
Second, I am 17 also, you really need to do research before blabbing things, as you appear to be 12. No offense.
Linux is NOT great… at all. It does nothing better than windows for the desktop.
Now answer my question. What can Linux do on the desktop that Windows cannot?
at 3:39 am
@OmegaFuckingWeaponA computer program (also a software program, or just a program) is a sequence of instructions written to perform a specified task for a computer
please explain how a game does not fit this definition
at 3:39 am
@JamesManes and looks like they just hit that changing point in that business model didnt they? new > stable > new/ stable > stable, but same OS as before.
at 3:39 am
@JamesManes lol your the average internet user here. 12 yrs old? im like 17 dude. i dont think 12 is my age. mmm NOPE. its the most common aged used on the interwebs. I AM FUCKING HAPPY TO BE SOMEWHAT OF A FANBOY OF LINUX… that OS is fuckin GREAT. better at everything that windows offers except for the gaming platform.
at 3:39 am

at 3:39 am
@t3hubern00b I see you are from 4chan.
OS X is UNIX, BUT it is part BSD license as well. Darwin/Mach in some ways. It has also been called XNU.
at 3:39 am

at 3:39 am
@JamesManes Implying Mac isn’t unix like.
at 3:39 am

at 3:39 am
@OmegaFuckingWeapon oh really?watch?v=aELRR7h9m8c
at 3:39 am
no programs crash in windows 7.. not ones that are mass producted
at 3:39 am
@OmegaFuckingWeapon so you are basing the whole performance of an operating system on how a single program acts? and its not even one that apple makes. can i show you some programs that crash in windows?
at 3:39 am
i never said it was however i said it was more superior…. i ran both itunes and wmp on a mac and i froze on wmp but i run both on my windows vista and nothing went wrong….
at 3:39 am
@OmegaFuckingWeapon can you prove that windows media player is more secure?
at 3:39 am
yup because itunes sucks.. they have so many securty updates and still isnt ssecure…. i got a free itouch upgrade because apple cant stop hackers as much as windows cant
at 3:39 am
@OmegaFuckingWeapon LOL are you actually calling windows media player a SUPERIOR program?
at 3:39 am
no im saying mac cant make a stable enough os to support superior programs
at 3:39 am
Where’s complements on the Ultimate version?
at 3:39 am
@OmegaFuckingWeapon so are you saying that microsoft doesn’t know how to write programs without them causing major kernel issues?
