Sounds interesting, I'm interested particularly in what your "Friend" thinks of the new UI. :)

 

Well, it turns out that he got ripped and ended up with a crappy version that didn't have the new taskbar :|

 

It looks, runs, and feels like vista. He's going to try to find another one now :P

 

 

 

Tell you "friend" to enable the new features.

 

 

 

Edit: [hide=Few pics]New taskbar with thumbnails

You can use small icons too

New calc, very useful for programmers (it actually is in programmer mode)

You sir, are awesome. I still don't like it much more than vista, though. :|

Lol, what have they done to the calculator? It looks fat! Seems to have some nice features nevertheless.

I've been running it for two days now...and it's great. Automatically installed EVERY driver that I needed (including printer drivers). It boots up and shuts down quickly. It uses almost twice as much memory as XP idle, but the CPU usage is slightly lower. It has many more services enabled by default. However, having 2GB+ of RAM means you won't even notice it.

 

 

 

It runs very well overall. I've been looking around, and there are some very nice new features. I enabled the new "superbar" on the bottom. The search function is also incredibly useful now (start, search). I've got google chrome installed and it feels great.

 

 

 

I'd upload a pic but image shack's being feisty right now. Once I get back from classes, maybe.

This is the calculator in standard mode

It also comes with unit conversion. What would have been cool is currency conversion directly linked to some database on internet.

Pardon my asking, but ... What the #$%@ is a "BS" button on a Windows 7 Calculator?!?!?!? :o (Honestly, I've never seen THAT before!)

Argh... Just use PhotoBucket.com already, and save all of us headaches, yourself included!!! <.< (What is it with everyone and ImageShack lately?!?!? If you're doing it right, PhotoBucket is far more impressive!)

Where can you go download it? I was going to wait for the Beta in December, but I kind of would want to try it before lol.

 

I think they haven't released any public betas yet, those come early next year. So, you'll have to go somewhere else lol.

I think that is back-space button, might be wrong tho.

Gah, now i got a bit disappointed about MS and Win7.

 

Microsoft won't support Hybrid SLI&CrossFire from scratch, they force Amd/Nvidia to make it work. Not that i use hybrid, but i don't see why... It works well in XP/Vista.

It still looks behind OSX leopard

 

EDIT: And i say that as someone who has a macbook pro with OSX leopard and very much prefers the interface to windows. I dont know whether my next pc purchase will be mac or another windows based gaming rig and i was hoping that windows 7 would be much more drastic a change than this and they would rethink there ui instead of adding shiny glass, which im not really fond of

You're assuming that MS isn't going to make any UI changes until the version after 7, whatever that would be. Look at this picture of Longhorn:

And now think about what Vista looks like. That much of a difference.

 

They will drastic changes before the release. I can promise you.

I was going to buy Vista next month...should I wait?

 

 

 

No, unless you are patient enough to wait till Holiday 2009 to get Windows 7. It also depends what operating system you have now, if you have XP and just want to upgrade the OS, it's not really worth it.
