What Do You Think Windows Version 7/Vienna Will Look Like?

Of course, Microsoft has kept secret every and any details regarding their new operating system known as both Windows 7 and Vienna, of which more can be found out, here. The question arises however, what features should it have? What improvements NEED to be made? Hopefully, Windows’ security problems will be dealt with by then, which I doubt sincerely.
Personally, I feel a new interface will be inevitable, with perhaps a slight adjustment to the RAM-eating operating system Windows vista has turned out to be. “They don’t want to commit because they don’t have a good idea what’s in it,” said Michael Silver, an analyst with Gartner Inc. “We’re three years out, so you can’t really expect that much detail.”
What changes do you think need to be made to Vista? What do you think Windows 7 could or should possibly hold?

I’m SO fed up with the continuous “JUNK” coming out of M$crosoft! XP works fine! I think they should focus on making XP function in a more user friendly manner. Fix the darn bugs, continue with their bug updates, lay off all the lard trying to reinvent the operating system for money’s sake (and screwing it up in the process). If M$crosoft just focused on making XP a really outstanding product, I would consider paying a yearly fee (Reasonable) to keep them working! But I know they wont. I will hang on to XP till the very end! Maybe by then, their will be a nice cottage industry that provides support for that old XP that people just wont let go of! I will convert this workstation to Linux before buying that retched VISTA DRM demon monster! NO-WAY! I just hope that Pro/E and Autocad will port to Linux. If they did, I would junk M$crosoft in a heart beat.
My only hope is that now that the European Union has said no to M$crosoft in favor of Linux, More software providers will port over to what ever version of Linux they settle on. Then, that’s the one I will move to. I’m sick of short sighted greedy M$crosoft grinding to line the corporate purse with nothing but grief for the customers. I can see it now: No more operating system! We are all “Dumb Terminals” logging on to the M$crosoft servers to boot. All software and access will be billed or pre-billed monthly. No pay? No PC! Not even local operation. Ugh!
What I want is an OS with a fast kernel, the way i liked it on BeOS. I don’t care about see through windows, widgets, gadgets and all that other stuff eating away processing power and memory. I don’t need security on file level, it’s an home computer NOT a coorporate computer. If it crashes I want to be able to access MY bits and bytes anytime. So give me a fast kernel and on top of that user interfaces.
OS’s are not important. An OS is just that - an OS. You don’t make money (unless your MS) or have fun with an OS.
The question should be: what kind of application(s) do I want / need? If you can answer that question, you also have the answer as what an OS should be.
But i’m affraid we have to wait for someone like Dan Bricklin (inventor of VisiCalc, the mother of all spreadsheets) to come up with software so brilliant, yet so easy, that everybody asks: why didn’t we have this before?
I _can_ tell you what I _don’t_ want in an OS: keyboard and mouse to control it. As for that, I don’t want to ‘talk’ to my computer either. I want it to read my mind and pick up what I want it to do. MS: there’s your challenge!
I have a NEW HP w/AMD 64 X2 Turion and 2 gigs of memory. The Vista Premium on it reacts and functions slower than my 32 bit 4 year old Averatec Home XP sp2 thats maybe 1.8 gig machine with 1/2 gig of memory. Also I find many abilities and intuitiveness of XP is gone. I find myself letting my wife ‘Surf’ on the Vista while I do business on the ’slow’ XP. M$ got me AGAIN!
Windows will never secure his OS, how do you want them to know you are using a copy, and what driver did you just installed, what internet provider are you using.
All ready doing updates its a weakness in security you just opened a port and they cant get in without trouble. that is same for anti virus who they create virus to sell or they use outsiders…
this new windows its like all of them, even vista booting has the same application the linux, they only copy and paste from others.
to me who create Linux are more genius, i am sure if they push linux further, we wont need windows anymore, for work or gaming…
conclusion Microsoft lost creativity, to be honnest they never had, and if they want to stop selling windows to regular user, we invite them to do so, you buy a program who bring you more trouble then good in your work.
if they dont want people to copy free, they just have to close the opening and to stop opening any ports to verify or to input file *.dll that do there work to send invisible info about what you do.
