Vista Is Old News – Windows 7 Will BLOW Your Mind!
section: windows, for your questions: KezNews forum, 12.12.2007
Tip: Click here to update all your PC's outdated driversWindows Vista was supposed to just make you utter the Wow onomatopoeia when it launched for the general consumers, at the end of January 2007.
And delivering a limp Wow, vista managed to fail at that simple task. At almost one year since it first hit the shelves, the Wow has died, and Microsoft has scrapped any reference to it from anything even remotely related to its latest Windows client. Having dropped the first Release Candidate for Vista SP1 and while gearing up for the final availability of the service pack, Microsoft is, in no way, preparing to revive the Wow.
In fact, the Redmond company is now focusing on its upcoming Windows client: Windows 7. In this context, Hilton Locke, Microsoft Software Test Engineer, went out on a limb and promised that Windows 7 was designed to virtually blow the user's mind with its touch features. Locke compared the interface of the iPhone to that of the upcoming Windows 7 and revealed that the touch capabilities of the latter would make the technology incorporated in Apple's phone irrelevant. "I will say that if you are impressed by the "touch features" in the iPhone, you'll be blown away by what's coming in Windows 7", Locke revealed.
Microsoft has a few projects in development, build on the concept of natural user interfaces. Microsoft Surface, the company's tabletop computer, is just such an example, with the interface allowing for multi-touch capabilities, as well as gesture and object recognition. Surface, at this point in time, is based on Windows Vista. But at the same time, Locke referred to Tablet computers. And in this regard, the company is already hard at work on InkSeine, a project from Microsoft Research that could find its way into Windows 7, running on Tablet machines. Windows 7 is currently planned for 2010.

really..yawnnnnnnnn.... zzzzzzzzz
great, now i can leave fingerprints all over my 24" lcd display.
seriously,
buy a clue, microsoft.
...and the specks for windows 7 will be 8 gig ram 16gig for one of the 7 versions that
are to be sold. 500gb min drive. 1 gig video card 4 if you want the ipod like stuff to
work. oh, and it will be 8x slower than xp. and it will be priced from $99 for basic that
does nothing, and $499.00 for the one that does 50% of what you want it to do. i can't
wait. can i pre pay now and be first on the list?
by then friggin apple will probably be able to read your mind ...
is it me or has m$ actually convinced itself that its ideas are the only real good ones!
the need to stop keeping up with the jones/apples/'nixs and get an original idea!!!
is microsoft blind? winxp was a big hit because it was very functional, it would be a lot
easier if they did the same thing for windows 7, we dont need touch screen, have to buy a
new lcd screen with money we dont have. oh well, i guess they think with all their money,
they can force their products on use.
my arm is sore just thinking about it!
i'm going from making a minuscule movement
with my mouse or pen and tab to reaching for my lcd to finger print it.
touch? great they can add that to all their other cool features like wga, drm, windows
activation..
the best thing going on in os news is that more of the best
windows only software will continue to move on to other operating systems.
the touch feature is just plain stupid for a desktop or laptop computer. nothing like
making you screen all dirty with finger prints and having to clean it all the time. that
would be just a huge annoyance.
and whats with all these stupid articles by
the same guy who is anti-vista at softpedia?
reminds me of the push to talk on nextel phones/ touch the screen
not for the main
stream but has its place.
that gur probably used to say the same thing about xp when it was launched. and now he
loves it. get a life
i can't think of a single thing a mouse pointer cant do that a touching finger on screen
can
how about a device that you only have to move within just one inch to access anywhere on
screen. that would blow touch screen out of the water!!!! dur..
dork, you have to get a clue. xp was never as bad as vista is, not by a long shot....
mattyboy. they have a type of mouse, for handicapped persons, that is moved
around the screen just by looking at where you want it to go.
so, to upgrade to windows 7 you'll also have to upgrade to a touch screen monitor. then
reach across to the monitor and suffer arm ache and shoulder problems, unless you buy a
table monitor and suffer back and neck problems from hunching over it. i'll stick to a
mouse and keyboard thanks billy g.
pease scan the finger you wish to use with this version of windows touch. your
fingerprint will be used to activate windows. if you wish to use another finger you may
have to reactivate!!!
cut the crap and show us a beta version. case close.
vista is full of it and that
how it started with full of promises...all turn out to be a money grabber for their next
project.
i don't wanna finger my monitor all the time. ms should work on reliability and speed
improvements.
though i love to use windows operating systems, i'm really tired of this never ending
new and more demanding windows versions. windows xp is good enough till death do us
part.!!!! :) :)
great,more wincrap...fortunally the next best thing will not come from uncle sam.
but from europe...hehe,it's a mistery that will soon blow your mind!
peace \/
yay,
i never used vista...yay....well i installed it once to see how it looks.
let see window 7...if no good. then windows 8
believe it or not microsoft is full of shit. i mean come on! vista! that shit was a
complete flop. i got me a mac and i must admit the switch was worth it. i enjoy every bit
of mac os x. can you imagine the next generation of os x? damn!!!!!!! virtual
flow.........
it's hard to believe that microsoft is already moving forward, makes you feel real
confident about investing in vista!! you have to crawl before walking, i want microsoft to
fix vista first before they move on as it's not right to stick the paying user on the
sideburner leaving them behind with issues. if they use this policy, nobody will buy
windows 7. this is linux's chance to score points against vista. let's hope some distro
can compete head on with windows 7 as i believe microsoft has gotten soft since they've
been the biggest fish for so long....
give windows 10 to the people !!!
it will probably require a supercomputer to
operate and 1000 euros to activate !!!
just what we need, an updated version of m$ bob...
in the early days of its development, microsoft 'intended' much for vista, but by its
general release date much of the 'intended' was removed. i wonder if this is not what we
are seeing again here - high hopes, but in the end only mediocrity. i guess only time
will tell.
unfortunately, intellectual property rights prevent everyone else to build upon prior
innovation here in the u.s.
meaning, there is a huge opportunity for someone
or some business to offer a better operating system now, other than microsoft. but, the
problem is, all the source code used to make things work, in the operating system is
forbidden to be shared to everyone else to improve, and review it...
review and
improve being the source code used in windows operating system. thus microsoft gets to
hold on, lock us in, and we get to suffer with this buggy error operating system.
another version of windows isn't going to fix anything you know...
just
look at crappy vista, and we all can see and experience the many issues, errors, mistakes
and problems...
what we need is a new better operating system, that allows
everyone to improve it...
linux or other open source gplv3 source code can do
that for us all...and is why microsfot is 1005 against this.
microsoft has more
than it's fair share... it's time to allow society to benefit.
many software developers r workin on makin their software as smart as possible makin it
use the least resources as possible whle microsoft r workin on makin their products as
stupid as possible
more complains?
i still remember when win98 was so good and winxp was so bad.
vista will be so good and win7 will be so bad.
win7 will be so good
and win8 will be so bad.
bill gates has the money and the company. he can do
bad or good software as he pleases.
stop complaining, use the os you like the
most and get a life!
...and look it over. by all recent news it gives me the feel that ms is starting to
panic. copycats, futuristic feel? looks like a ferrari but with a lada engine.
under the meantime im putting together my own linux dist under vmware, dont really like
where this is heading so i'd rather take the time and learn a new os and deploy it when i
feel its stable and xp is shot dead.
like many people have said fix fookin vista first ms !! it cud be gud !! with a little
attention...as for me ill stick with xp least it works..well sometimes :) ms are becoming
like game distributers put out an unfinished game and then patch the fooker 5 mins later
!!....get yer fookin act together man...and dont mention linux...id like to fookin hang
that penguin..pile o shite !!
i bought vista ultimate..what a piece of crap, guess i'll pirate the next 2 or 3 os's
from ms...bought me, pirated all up to vista. guess i had one of those old timer lapses..
7 will be another vista..i'm sure.
there will always be crappy bugs or features in all os, because they want you to buy the
next os, hoping it will be better. if vista was perfect, why would there be any need for
another os (windows 7). same goes for xp. this is some basic business tactics from m$
side.
wow, finally, vista get a boob job, now we can touch
every os has its own benefits and flaws. so use whatever os that you're comfortable with
and quit whining. windows is not the only os out there. peace!
vista's shit? buy a mac so ul stop complaining
m$ will never listen to its customers. they'll make whatever they want and stick a price
tag. they'll sell a few millions copies. make a profit and get down to next in line.
users will buy it, pirate it or just leave it where it is, but thats just how life will
go.
if you don't like m$ products please, doint buy them or pirate them and then
complain. get a mac or linux if you are comfortable with it. this will be the same all
over again at the next os.
you think that just because a car manufacturer gets a new
model out each year everyone should buy it? no! if you are comfortable in your '92 model
or you can't afford the new one. stick with it. as far as it takes you places.
