What Will Windows 7 Bring to the Table After Windows Vista?
section: windows, for your questions: KezNews forum, 23.11.2007
With Windows Vista far from being the last mammoth release of the Windows operating system as we know it, Microsoft is increasingly focusing on Windows 7.
Stripped down of its Vienna codename, following the development strategy implemented by Steven Sinofsky, Senior Vice President, Windows and Windows Live Engineering Group, debuted with the introduction of product numbers, Windows 7 is currently set for 2010, in both 32-bit and 64-bit flavors. At the same time, there are generally only scarce details related to Windows 7 available, most of which do not benefit from any official confirmation from Microsoft.
But one aspect of the operating system, that the Redmond company will evolve, concerns the ecosystem of programs and applications built on top of the platform. In this context, Windows 7 could be synonymous with an overhaul of how the Windows client handles the deployment, configuration and management of third-party software products integrated into its fabric in an effort to improve installation, stability, performance etc.
Well, according to the Windows Survey on Deploying and Configuring Applications, Microsoft is quite interested in the impact of the User Account Control on the development, installation and configuring of applications. While it is highly unlikely that the company is considering dropping UAC, the security mitigation could be tweaked as a consequence of the feedback received. But at the same time, Microsoft is pointing to a simpler installation experience that does not by any means require elevation of privileges.
Microsoft is also questioning developers in relation to the diagnostics and troubleshooting process of application failures, as well as extensive repair options, complete uninstall and a separation of the program from Windows in order to avoid conflicts and errors impacting the operating system. Still, by the repetition of the topic involving the lack of administrative privileges for future applications for Windows 7 it appears that the UAC is here to stay.

windows 7 wtf! get vista working right first
like what's needed in 2010 can be predicted--build a core system that works-- then write
updates that give function and eliminate outdated code, providing less access for hackers
and pirates, increase performance, build a satisfied, loyal customer base, and sell
software--quit allying with software writers and hardware manufacturers who output
incompatible product-- do what you used to do best !!! duuuuuh!
how do we know even what hardware we will be using in 2010? i am just moving to quad care
but how many cores by 2010? i bet 8 will become common and thw os is going to have to cope
with a lot of load balancing by then.
on dual core, windows vista does quite
well keeping the cores working but 8? it will be fun waiting to see.
