actually Win 7 has been referred to as Vista Lite ... much faster

So it's a re-release of WinXP SP2?

Tell me, what exactly do you want out of an operating system? And Directx 10 wasn't the only thing that changed with Vista. Do you use Vista or just talking from all the BS that people published the first week Vista came out?

WIth Directx 11.

Yup, sounds about right.

But Locutus is as cynical as ever:

Too bad 2009 is going to be another year of hearing Microsoft lies and exaggerations regarding yet another Microsoft OS release. BFD, is what I say after 20 something years of the same junk year after year after year ... Though you may have smashed the OLPC and dashed their plans of helping millions of children, they kicked off a resurrection of the light weight small form-factor device you just can't compete on. IMO.

leaked if you care .........

I know Clevalley - you probably already have it

Not yet, got hit with other crap before I can play with it.

They did. Its called Vista.


Nope. Limiting themselves to continue developing off an OS that is 9 years old is useless. Vista showed us that. The only upgrade in Vista was Directx 10. The only upgrade in Windows 7 will be Directx 11. Everything else is just how cute and user friendly the GUI can become... which those of us that actually care about system performance go through and turn off anyway.

Start fresh and start new. Force people to go out and buy new components so that memory and cpu utilization stay low. Get rid of all the flare and cuteness. Make it raw yet still GUI based.

Then let all the corporations and non-computer geeks keep using XP.

But... either way it works out... Windows 7 will just be vista with a few perks (that will probably be worse having than not) with Directx 11, as vista is XP with a few perks (all of which are worse having than not).

Windows 7 has the basic Kernel of XP - but the slick/smooth interface of Vista, with all the administrative plug-in and tools used to manage Server 2008... Vista really breaths after SP1 and the interface comes to life in a Server 2008 environment.

From what we have been told, Windows 7 is a blend of both XP and Vista... honestly, my Vista load is faster than my XP load - same machine...

Let me check into it after the holidaze... remind me with an e-mail.
