Title: Windows 7 Milestone 3 screenshots
Post by: Irock on October 28, 2008, 07:27:34 AM

These were leaked like a month ago. ;o;

http://windows7news.com/2008/09/20/windows-7-m3-screenshots-galore/

Spoiler for Some of them:

I don't like the direction they're going with their applications. It's the same functionality with a bulky interface. It might be good for new users, but I just end up with less real estate. ~_~

They for some reason don't have Videos in the right side of the start menu, they did this in Vista too. Why are all of the media folders EXCEPT videos there? That's stupid.

The left sidebar in the explorer window looks nice. It looks familiar to something (http://img520.imageshack.us/img520/8450/finderleopard018527397df3.png) though. =c

Still waiting for more information on Windows Vista 2. :V :V

what? Too me wordpad looks not only 100% more eye pleasing, its new interface shows me tools I would have never known it had.
If your not for new looks and same functionality, then go download windows 98.

Looks like a lot of wasted space to me. That's actually what I thought even before I read anything irock said.
So let us have our opinions.

I don't care if they show more tools, just don't make it so bulky. It looks like fisher price designed it. I'd go back to Windows 98, but it doesn't have the same functionality as XP and Vista.

Let's make it exactly like Vista, except we move some options around!

that's what custom skins are for
if you're smart enough that you actually think about those things, then you probably have a means for fixing them.

honestly, I don't mind the look of vista, I dislike the ram-heaviness of it.

if they fix that in Windows 7, then I'm game.
Vista SP1 seems to work just fine for me :/

also in b4 Mac vs PC

Ditto. The first thing I thought was that it'd be a lot like Vista: looks cool, a coupla new nice features, wasted space.

4 things

1) it's not a dock, theyre icons on a quick launch, just like XP and Vista have .-.
2) his entire video has useless effects just so he can try to look cool
3) his signoff is fucking annoying.
4) where's awesomewinperson when you need him?

The only thing that reminds me of OSX is the right click on Windows Media Player. =x

I normally wouldn't be annoyed by it, but Microsoft was making it out to be some sort of original idea. I hate when companies do that. ;o;

Title: Re: Windows 7 Milestone 3 screenshots
Post by: tSwitch on October 31, 2008, 03:12:42 AM

they make it out to be a feature that they programmed.
everything is adapted from somewhere else.

I didn't see it as making it seem 'original' so much as
"this is new in Windows 7 [compared to it not existing in Vista]"

if they didn't try to make the features seem cool, useful, and important, it wouldn't sell.

oh yeah, a few more things I forgot to add.

1) hurr durr the start button is on the task bar just like in every version of windows. they just decided to make it smaller
2) the context menu on the media player isn't actually the same as the itunes one. The Itunes one on the mac is showing playback options and program options, and is more of a standard 'right click' menu inside the windows program. the context menu is actually showing library navigation tools, so it's less about "shuffle repeat off" and more about "load up X or Y playlist". Not quite the same.

Post by: Holkeye on April 27, 2009, 08:15:39 PM

What I meant in my last post was about including "Virtual XP" in Windows 7. That says so much about Windows, and people in general. First off, it shows that people were/are highly likely to keep XP for yet another generation of WOS, and that Microsoft knows this. In turn, it also shows that they know that Vista was largely a flop. I'm struggling to come up with an analogy for the situation, but it's sort of like saying, "Buy XP again, and we'll throw in this shiny new bonus: Windows 7."
