I think Windows Seven is a good name, but there could have been something better. Using a numeric postfix was, i thought abandoned with Windows XP, but it seems Windows 7 puts it back. Vienna sounds good waise.
Windows 7 will ofcourse be a refined version of Vista with lot of focus on maintaining compatibility with "Made for Vista" applications as well as performance and bloating issues. We have already begun seeing these kind of changes with the news of removal of the Windows Photo Gallery and Messenger (am i right :
) from it. Microsoft has said officially that in Windows 7, the major focus will be these two things. i think they will tune out the plethora of technologies they introduced in Vista and make them faster and more reliable then ever. Interface, i guess, will also get some makeover but in some post beta 1 builds only, not before that. Lots of new features may appear as well. .NET based applications will get a definite boost in performance, that i am very sure. I think the platform will be very tightly integrated with the core of the new OS.
One thing that i am very happy with now (NOW, when i have my new AERO capable Dell Inspiron lappy ) is the shift to the new, hardware accelerated display architecture. It works fantastically well and the smooth and subtle animations it provides appear very pleasing to me personally. And this has also gave rise to Windows Presentation Foundation which allows declarative UI designing and with tools like Expression Blend 2, UI designing is a much more smooth and artistic affair then ever.
Excuse me Sir, but for how much time you have been using the Vista Aero UI?? And for how much time you had used it without rehearsing to yourself that Vista or its UI is a crap. I think you should use it with +ve attitude and try exploring the small things that have been tweaked to give better UI experience. Personally, i love the new, dynamic AERO ui, the new explorers as well as the new dialogs and wizard styling. These things have become very user friendly, and easy on eyes. Ya, there are things that are not perfect, like clicking twice to get to the wallpaper changing options, but you have alternatives as well. I mean, for example, why do you need to go to Desktop Properties when you can change the wallpaper right from any explorer window where you see a nice snap! In my opinion that is more natural. Please do post your comments on that and try to elaborate why do you think so.
