I was SO looking forward for the arrival of 7 (or Vienna, how they called previously), but when I beta-tested the OS, I was very disappointed with the near no-change from Vista.
The OS is definately very stable and perfomance is ace, BUT:
for me 7 is just Vista with new gimmicks, it looks like vista, it works like viste, it feels like vista.
Is that what the people that Microsoft interviewed said they wanted? To 'shake the window a little bit to make the other windows disappear'? Is that the massive change Microsoft was gonna offer us? Or to preview the windows' contents from the taskbar, thing that we can already do in Vista? The device interface is quite smart, but there is nothing original in that aprt from the same options that vista showed in a small box, but only in a bigger window.
Also, the taskbar is very poor looking and very not customisable. Why is there need to have a bar? why cant the icons just hang around there in a very discreet way?
Seriously is this the future of computing? adding features that would amaze a child? what about radical changes in file handling, or picture viewing, (which btw is pre-historical in 7, even Picasa do a better job).
Is it gonna be worth spending money is new gimmicks only?
as you can see i am very disappointed with microsoft. even the looks of mac osx are starting to ilude me....help me....sell me on 7!!! coz microsoft couldnt..
does anyone feel the same?
