We know that after Windows Vista, now Microsoft has its major focus on the next upcoming version of Windows family of OS i.e. Windows 7 which is known by the name of Windows Vienna. Windows Vienna is already in the works (we come to know this through the fact that the development of Vista and Vienna was started together initially) but we don’t know what it will look like and when it is going to come to the surface.
TechToday recently posted a series of screenshots which it claims to be that of Windows 7 or Windows Vienna. Some of the screenshots have surfaced on a site called Osbeta.org while others have been collected through a random search over the Internet.
Here take a look:
I won’t make a hard statement saying that these are not the screenshots of Windows Vienna but as far as I know Microsoft, I doubt they are going to leak the Alpha version screenshots of Windows Vienna already. That would be like giving a second big competition to Windows Vista (first one is Windows XP already)
However these screenshots do give us a hope that Windows Vienna will be something new and awesome.
I agree. I have a feeling the next version will be a huge jump like Win XP was from Win 98.
It seems like VIsta outside but We wil have to wait to see how the things are integrated inside it. Lets wait and well How about hardware…Do we need 4 gb of minimum ram lol
I think we can prove that they are not screenshots of Vienne by the number build. Logicaly this number is based on NT version so the numbers should start at least higher than the one of vista ( in 6xxx ). The number one is the most original because nothing from MS have this look ( but I can’t imagine myself to successfully working with ). The second look like Windows Xp with the Zune theme. The third have the same colors as one of the futurist video from Microsoft. The last still look like Windows Vista, but the longhorn builds looked like Xp so i can’t say anything against the theme but i doubt that Microsoft would have written “Microsoft Vienna Center”, Microsoft always write the term “Codename or Code name” with it.
these all look fake. I wouldn’t believe none of these shots. probably all different shell’s from customizing sites
Why Windows 7? When Vista still has bugs. Those monkeys addicted to money.
The screenshots are fake. They are just skins that i have on Windows XP.
Nope. This is Zune theme and Yahoo! Widgets Photoshop etc.
Windows sucks anyway. Try Puppy Linux.
Windows does not really suck. It does have a lot of bugs and other issues but it is way more user friendly and task efficient than Linux.
The pictures look different each time, so none are probably real. Best to wait till it comes out.
I have used Vista a lot and I am not satisfied with Microsoft…I am waiting for Vienna…I will purchase the OD from Microsoft…and I will be glad if some one can just mail me a document on latest updates of Vienna.
The first screenshot looks cool…but not highly useful for power-users. As somebody supporting a substantial user-base of data-entry staff, having a limited Mac-style menu would have advantages in terms of usability in the workplace. Obviously the option of then switching back to a “classic” interface for our power-users would also be a plus. So maybe there’s a happy medium?
