Marik Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 While the busy little elves up in Santa's workshop in Redmond are working hard on making the Windows 7 Beta a reality--I hear they're up beyond build 7000 at this point--I've been working with a number of earlier builds. These builds fall after the M3 ("milestone 3") build the company released at PDC 2008 but before Beta 1, which is expected next month. I had previously published a number of shots from these builds, but in looking over the most recently leaked build, build 6956, it occurred to me that my previous shots didn't accurately reflect the most recent UI elements in some cases. This set of shots seeks to address that.What you'll see here are the new Windows Explorer icon, the new Action Center user experience, some new sample pictures, some preinstalled Windows Themes complete with slideshows, the new Compatibility View updates option in IE 8, and a few other goodies. Enjoy. Source: winsupersite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeus_Hunt Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I thought Windows 7 was supposed to be based on a whole new kernel...?Windows 7 is built on the same kernel as Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista.I think more on the lines of Windows Server 2008 SP1 ....

demonon Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I thought Windows 7 was supposed to be based on a whole new kernel...?Nope, it's just a slimmer Vista Core.But don't worry, every beta tester on the web says it way better.I thought Windows 7 was supposed to be based on a whole new kernel...?Nope, it's just a slimmer Vista Core.But don't worry, every beta tester on the web says it way better then Vista.

shought Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Me does worry :dance2:I really thought it was supposed to be based on a new kernel, would anyone be able to explain why, maybe? I mean, you don't just make up something like this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, you don't just make up something like this...It's based on Windows Server 2008 SP1 as already said. But i think M$ is rewriting the core, even if it is based on Windows Server.

rashad Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I think MS thought of it this wayStart a new OS -> VistaMake it work -> Vista SP1Make it work properly -> Windows 7I personally code similarly I used to write a program that works then I recode it properly so it's more efficiently in terms of speed, memory, usability... etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cramsdeath Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Don't know about you lot, but 7 is looking even more like Mac than Vista.........I think it's safe to attempt the Linux switch over now hahaand.....

Nessjirval Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Yeah linux is a great platform for your pc but if you can't play games on it. Then I'm not going to change to Linux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shought Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Yeah linux is a great platform for your pc but if you can't play games on it. Then I'm not going to change to LinuxLinux has a couple cons:- Less support for games and even when supported the performance is lower.- It's UI is mostly adjusted for advanced computer users, that in combination with the fact that it looks 'different' won't allow people with less knowledge about computers to work with it efficiently/correctly.- Less programs, still. There is a solution, but it's not full proof... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irefay Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Only time will tell, but I dont think Microsoft will be able to take too many more vista fiascoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessjirval Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I think they can because most of the people are only looking to graphics and not to performance I think many people found that vista is having a cool look, that's why they are buying it.
