:thum_up: Here is something to read:

Separating the wheat from the chaff

Would you buy a new operating
system from this man? One thing we all know about Windows 7 is the management team that will be leading the project. Jim Allchin—the veteran who led the Windows XP and Vista teams—is gone, and in his place is Steven Sinofsky, who previously headed up the Office 2007 project. This has raised all sorts of speculation that the Windows user interface will be getting a similar sort of "face lift" as the venerable Office suite did in its last release. Some have even gone so far as to say it would be "Ribbon-based."

Windows 7 will get a facelift, but the extent of the UI changes are not yet known at Microsoft: current Windows 7 builds, which we have seen in person, use the Vista interface. Final designs for the UI have not yet been decided, and likely will not be for several months. If someone shows you any leaked screenshots of Windows 7, you can tell them that they have almost certainly been duped by enthusiastic fakers with a copy of Photoshop. Humans are visual creatures, and for most people the user interface is the only way to know that something has changed with a new release of the operating system. Unfortunately, the UI is typically the last thing to be finalized. Those of you who have watched the development of previous versions of Windows know that even once you start seeing concept UIs, nothing is set in stone.

With Windows 7, even the boot screen hasn't been designed yet. Currently, when Windows 7 boots, it displays a stylized "7" taking up most of the screen, drawn like an artist's quick sketch with thin lines using the Windows logo colors.

Don't throw away those Win32 apps just yet
Another common prediction is that Windows 7 will do away with backwards compatibility, and instead, run all previous Win32 applications in a built-in virtual machine. This rumor is false. The theme of "throwing it all away" and starting over with something fresh and new is a common desire in computer enthusiast circles. Typically, people will reference Apple's decision to virtualize the "Classic" Mac OS when the company released OS X, and assume that Microsoft is eager to do the same.

However, this argument completely ignores the reasons why Apple went the virtualization route in the first place: "Classic" applications were written to run on an OS with no memory protection and assumed that they could address any piece of memory they wanted. Such applications could only run in a virtual sandbox on a modern OS with full memory protection, such as Mac OS X.

Microsoft has no such limitation with Win32 applications, which ran natively on Windows NT ever since its first release in 1993. The Win32 subsystem has worked well ever since. Why would Microsoft throw away years of working, tested code to run Win32 apps in a VM sandbox, with all the attendant extra RAM requirements and barriers to inter-application communication?

We believe that Microsoft will be bundling the ability to run older applications in virtual machines if desired as part of the base Windows 7 product. Microsoft has been on this track for a while now: it released an older version of Virtual PC as a free download last year, and included a stripped-down version as part of Windows Vista Ultimate and Enterprise. Building a VM into Windows 7 will be the ultimate way of handling older applications that misbehave on modern versions of Windows. It will not be required, however.

The kernel gets smaller, but don't expect MinWin miracles
Some technology journalists who read about the "MinWin" demonstration immediately thought that the Windows 7 core would magically shrink to MinWin's specs of 25MB of disk and 40MB of RAM. Unfortunately, that excitement is a little misguided: MinWin is missing the entire graphical interface of Windows, as well as 90 percent of its functionality. Much of the bulk of Windows 7 will be due to the operating system supporting extra features that are not part of MinWin. However, the point of the exercise was to show that the Windows NT kernel continues to be developed and optimized.

Still, you can expect the trend of modularizing Windows to continue with Windows 7—Windows Server 2008 can already be run without the GUI, and this feature might eventually find itself in the consumer versions of Windows as well.

Multitouch? Multitouch.
The Internet was abuzz when a Microsoft employee in the Tablet PC division posted an excited message on his blog. Pulling no punches, he boasted that "if you are impressed by the "touch features" in the iPhone, you'll be blown away by what's coming in Windows 7."

Microsoft has been working on multitouch technology with its Surface technology, and parts of this technology are indeed coming to Tablet PCs and laptops—Microsoft Research's Steve Hodges demonstrated one possible way this transition could happen. Multitouch is definitely the future, and it looks like Windows 7 will be ready.

But when will Windows 7 be ready for the public? Microsoft isn't saying, but my source tells me it is farther along than most people think: most of the features have been locked down, and work is proceeding at a steady pace. Longhorn this isn't: Windows 7 is unlikely to fall into the tar pits of multiple, interlocking dependencies that plagued the Vista development team. Current estimates are for Windows 7 to appear in 2010, but it could arrive in late 2009 if all continues to go well.

MinWin and Windows Vienna / 7

Almost two months ago Eric Traut gave a presentation on operating systems in which MinWin was brought to light for the first time. Although used for running a basic HTTP server, MinWin is a stripped down version of the Windows kernel that will be used as the foundation for Windows Vienna. MinWin is composed of approximately 100 files totalizing 25MB on disk and 40MB set up, in comparison with Vista which is made up of over 5000 files and approximatley 2500MB on disk.
Since MinWin is simply an effort from Microsoft to bring the kernel down to the smallest possible size in order to achieve the best efficiency for the upcoming versions of Windows, it will not be a kernel that is going to be distributed all by itself but merely a starting point for the next generation of operating systems built by Microsoft that break the legacy with the Vista operating system and its ancestors.

Update on Windows Vienna / 7

Julie Larson-Green, responsible for the user interface of Office 2007, and also the person behind the ribbon-like interface has been transferred to the Windows 7 team.
The current release date of the Windows 7 operating system is expected to be in late 2009, early 2010, returning to the 3-year pause between desktop operating system versions that was common at Microsoft for all Windows versions prior to Windows Vista.
The most common dilema about Windows 7 right now is whether or not to use backward compatibility. Strong rumours have suggested that the OS will be developed from scratch on top of the Windows NT kernel, given its maturity in both security and stability terms. The backward compatibility, however, is something that Microsoft developers would frown upon, since it prevents truly revolutional ideas to be implemented. Windows Vista, because of its backward compatibile, carries a large amount of code libraries with it, thus the large size of the operating system. However, many businesses that haven't upgraded their software in a decade or more would not purchase Windows 7 if it was not compatible with their applications. As a result, the current options that Microsoft has are to either make Windows 7 backward compatible, or to maintain a legacy version of Windows in parallel, for the business customers, one which will be kept alive by Microsoft though patches and updates.
Bill Gates on Windows Vista

In a recent interview for MSNBC, Bill Gates said Vista will be "more user-centric" to an extent at which "even if you drop by a kiosk or somebody else's PC, we can bring down your home page, your files, your fonts, your favorites and those things." The Tablet PC will also continue to be pushed on the market as a version of Windows 7 accommodating Tablet PCs will be released, one where the digital ink and speech will play a much bigger role.
Windows Vienna is now Windows 7

Microsoft revealed a new name for the upcoming operating system: "Windows 7" - as it is built upon the 7.0 version of the NT Kernel. The name, however, is similar to what "Longhorn" was for the Vista operating system - a codename that will be changed soon before the release of the final version.
Windows Vienna - two and a half years from now

Now that Vista is on the shelves, Microsoft is focusing on its next major operating system release, Windows Vienna. Even though Windows Vienna is going to be a major release with a totally revised GUI, Microsoft made a bold statement: by the end of 2009 Vienna will hit the shelves.
However, Microsoft needs to keep the buzz on Windows Vista for now and so they are not releasing any Windows Vienna official information to the public yet, expect for the fact that they are working on it.
Windows Vienna - opening a new generation of operating systems

In the past 20 years, the Microsoft Windows operating system has accumulated old code libraries that brought it to the size it has today, 2.5 GB and about 50 million lines of code (Windows Vista). These old code libraries consume resources and are often the targets of security exploits. The best way to avoid such problems, is to start from scratch, which is close to what Microsoft plans to do with Windows Vienna. Windows Vienna will represent the start of a different generation of operating systems, bringing in new concepts and support for new types of hardware, along with a better security and a modular approach, which will allow future versions of Windows to be built more easily on Windows Vienna's engine.
It is also likely that the future success of Microsoft's products will be strongly decided by the success of the new generation operating system.
Windows Fiji, then Windows Vienna

Windows codename Fiji, or Vista R2 is now scheduled to deliver before Windows Vienna. Windows Fiji is planned to be released in 2008, while Windows Vienna had its estimated release date in 2010. Due to the recent Windows Vista delay the domino effect could cause these other two versions of Windows to also be delayed, however the schedule disruption will not be significant
Why the name change?

Many were wondering why Microsoft decided to change the codename of the future version of Windows from Blackcomb to Vienna. Bruce Morgan from Microsoft, expresses his personal opinion:
"Blackcomb was the code name for some other project driven by other people, started many years ago. The people who chose that name and started that have moved around quite a bit since then, and different people have the leadership roles now. The vision for the product is quite a bit different, I'd imagine, than in the late 90s. So many things are different now that it's been many years since Blackcomb was the "next version of Windows after Whistler."
Codename change is official

"The codename for Blackcomb has changed to 'Vienna'. This does not reflect a big change for us; we have used city code names in the past," a Microsoft spokesperson said in a statement. "These code names are derived from cities/locations in the world known for great 'vistas'. The kinds of places we all want to see, experience and that capture the imagination. Vienna fits with this concept."
Windows Vienna is the successor of Windows Vista

NeoWin.com writes about how Windows Blackcomb changed its name to Windows Vienna. Windows Vienna (formerly Blackcomb) is the successor of the Windows Vista operating system. The new codename was not officially confirmed by Microsoft, however Robert Scoble confirmed the rumour in a Channel9 topic.

dudde silvernigt i guess its true bcoz i checked microsoft.com type Windows Vienna in search. u can get info

Hi... im not saying that there isn't a Windows 7(windows Vienna), there is.. and MS is working on it. but the screenshots are fake.. I have quoted a text(article) in my first post, there you can read what they have done with win 7 for now(they have not told everything yet, but some of it).. like it says in the text, they haven't done anything to the GUI, it still have the vista GUI..

Windows Vista is a fl0p. worst operating system to follow Windows XP

Why the hell do we need Vienna?

I GO WITH U AVIATOR ANNA
BCOZ MY MACHINE IS PREBUILT WITH VISTA ULTIMATE
MY CON FIG IS 4GB RAM AND 1 TB HARD DISK AND CORE2 DUO WITH BLUE RAY WRITER
STILL WITH IS CON FIG I FACE SLOW PROCESSING WHEN I USE VISTA THE SYSTEM BECOMES DEAD SLOW .
WHEN I FORMATTED OS AND INSTALLS XP THE SYSTEM IS IN JET SPEED
THE NEXT PROBLEM IS THE SOFTWARE COMPATIBILITY
THE NEXT IS THERE R MANY BUGS IN VISTA
XP IS MORE BETTER THAN VISTA
THE ONLY + IN VISTA IS GRAPHICS
I AM BELEIVEING THAT MICROSOFT WILL DO BETTER IN THEIR FUTURE FORTHCOMING OS
THEY WILL RECTIFY ALL THE ERRORS AND BUGS IN THE VISTA AND GIVE A NEW FRESH VIENNA OS TO US.

Well Vista has better memory management than XP, with 2GB of memory, you should be more than fine..and with 1GB of memory you should be fine...

If you got Vista pre-installed on you computer, there is properly a lot of crapware installed :p

Have you ever wondered if Microsoft is really totally at fault for bad customer experiences with Windows Vista?

Is it really the operating system's fault, or is it the OEM's fault for installing crapware and making it difficult for customers to make decisions on their own on what gets installed on the computers? When a computer comes from the OEM right out of the box and is riddled with 40 apps in the systemtray, instabilities probably aren't far away. Suppose some poor user tries to disable these add-ons: Boom! Errors pop up and the user's first thought is: well ****, its not the software, its the operating system. Lets just blame Microsoft!
