Marik Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Today I installed the windows 7 milestone 2 for beta testing and took some screenshots of it. At first glance its very much faster and much responsive than Milestone 1. Please await a detailed review, for now here are some screenshots :rolleyes: I will be posting my ideas and thoughts on Milestone 2 after few tests and some more usage.

mana Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Sorry to say but this looks like some kind of a joke, this is exactly like vista there is absolutely no difference whatsoever. If you notice in one screen shot there is even written- windows 7 ultimate, sp1. yeah sp1, now that is surely first of its kind, SERVICE PACK ONE before the release of a product. I can only laugh,and say that this is surely not windows 7. keep smiling:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This allows M$ to continue it's development, while keeping the public somewhat happysaying windows 7 is vista, is pure fail....it's the other way around...vista is the early alpha state of windows 7......since vista is only windows 7's birth code. When win7 will be released, vista will end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Lite Posted September 13, 2008 Administrator Share Posted September 13, 2008 You do realise EVERY version of Windows during EARLY ALPHA's looks identicial to the previous version?This is an internal build - strings like "SP1" will not be always removed - its based on Vista SP1 source code.

mana Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 If it is identical and carbon copy of the vista, then what is the use to displaying the screen shot???? Makes no sense! And you are wrong when you say "windows 7 was supposed to be released instead of vista". Agreed that vista is the most shitty windows ever, but saying that it was never suppose to be released is stretching your imagination a bit too far. MS released the beta version of vista many many months ago, then if a thing was never intended to be released then whats the use of releasing its beta. Once they release W7, they will start working on the next edition, like W8, and then you will post a comment that W7 was never suppose to be released, its just a alpha or beta or theta or whatever code for W8. Keep Smiling ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed that vista is the most shitty windows ever, but saying that it was never suppose to be released is stretching your imagination a bit too far.Windows 7, (formerly codenamed Blackcomb and later Vienna) - Original Birth: 2000In 2000 Microsoft started the planning to follow up Windows XP and its server counterpart Windows Server 2003 (both codenamed Whistler) with a major new release of Windows that was codenamed Blackcomb (both codenames refer to the Whistler-Blackcomb resort). This new version was at that time scheduled for a 2005 release. Major features were planned for Blackcomb, including an emphasis on searching and querying data and an advanced storage system named WinFS to enable such scenarios. In this context, a feature mentioned by Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates for Blackcomb was "a pervasive typing line that will recognize the sentence that [the user is] typing in."Later Blackcomb was delayed and an interim minor release, codenamed "Longhorn", was announced for a 2003 release. By the middle of 2003, however, Longhorn had acquired some of the features originally intended for Blackcomb, including WinFS, the Desktop Window Manager, and new versions of system components built on the .NET Framework. After the 2003 "Summer of Worms", where three major viruses − Blaster, Sobig, and Welchia − exploited flaws in Windows operating systems within a short time period, Microsoft changed its development priorities, putting some of Longhorn's major development work on hold in order to develop new service packs for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 that included a number of new security and safety features. Development of Longhorn was also "reset" in September 2004 (see Mid-2004 to Mid-2005: Development "reset") as a result of concerns about the quality of code that was being introduced to the operating system. The eventual result of this was that WinFS, the Next Generation Secure Computing Base, and other features seen in some of the Longhorn builds were deemed "not ready" for wide release, and as such did not appear in Longhorn, when it was released as Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008.As major feature work on Windows Vista wound down in early 2006, Blackcomb was renamed Vienna. However, following the release of Windows Vista, it was confirmed by Microsoft on July 20, 2007 that "the internal name for the next version of the Windows Client OS" is Windows 7, a name that had been reported by some sources months before.
