Windows 7... Redmond.. started their photocopiers again..

As we all know, Windows Vista has proven to be a FLOP for Microsoft. The Windows OS that gave a lot of headaches to both consumers and business industry using Microsoft as their OS. Consumers were better off with Windows XP, didn't even bother to upgrade to Vista. Even Microsoft has to extend support for Windows XP for a few more years. PC makers like HP, Dell, has to offer options for Windows XP as the OS even if they are selling Vista-PCs already.

And now, Microsoft after a one year of release and after some point of denial has decided to make Windows 7. The next Windows version. Pretty funny.. first they said that it's not a major update.. now they say it is.. I guess they have come to their senses that Vista is INDEED a FLOP..

So what's new with Windows 7? So far, it's still under development, and they are planning to release it Late 2009 or Early 2010. And here's what they have "photocopied" so far...

The "new" taskbar of Windows 7

hmmm they changed it... and it looks like the DOCK of MacOS X.. tsk tsk...

Next.. options for the application on the task bar wherein you don't have to view the window in order to control...

funny... Mac OS X has this one since 10.1... tsk tsk...
They call this "Jump List", where in you see the windows of one application with a click.
Pretty handy? Hmmm... I think Mac OS X 10.3 called this... Expose.. not only the windows of a certain application.. there is also an option wherein you could see ALL the opened applications, with just one click.


and they said.. an "improved" Start Menu... ummm.. what's the improvement here? Took out some.. still looks the same...

tsk tsk tsk... I guess Microsoft really has no NEW ideas... tsk tsk tsk.. Redmond is really a photocopier..

So.. Windows 7.. as one of the Windows enthusiast from (Winsupersite.com) said.. "Let's pretend Vista never happened.." haha Blocking defense mechanism? So immature..

Oh yeah.. Mac OS X 10.6 / Snow Leopard is due mid-2009. Pretty good stuffs awaits us Mac users.. Wonder when we'll see these technology in Windows? maybe Windows 9? :P

Switch to Mac! ;)

life's happier :P
