Alessandro17 Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Unix based? Unless of course they can make something truly revolutionary. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/69724-windows-7/#findComment-494738 Share on other sites More sharing options...
glassJAw Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Hopefully a OS that doesn't use the NT kernel. Better application installation (self contained) and better security implementation.

MaXiMuS1701 Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 good luck with all of that, Microsoft has promised things in the past that never happened. i don't think that MS is going to vary from NT yet but its possible. they are talking about the kernel in the wiki.

Ayanami Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 I think they might give an honest shot at a smaller, and less resource intensive system. And I think with some of the more recent court rulings, they'll make IE and WMP a little less monopolizing. They'll also probably try and rip off iLife some more.

Lothyrawir Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Well I can tell you that Vista is everything bad that you have ever heard about and more. I hate it!

REVENGE Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 All of the dropped stuff in Vista realized, a truly new user interface, good driver support at adoption time, and the improved kernel.

~pcwiz Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I dunno. Obviously correcting all the bugs in Vista (that is going to take long years, believe me ) and new features. Plus, like others have said, an OS that is actually stable and that doesn't hog resources.

mrjoe Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 you know, Pcwiz ur about to get 1776 posts! And yeah, about Windows 7. I would like it to be less bloated, run faster on lower-end PC's, possibly more Mac support (as I own a iMac and it hates Vista more than my Dell) It should still include features, as the average user would not like just a plain faster OS.

Dr. Hurt Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 A fast and stable ( possibly unix-based to get rid of all the problems they have with NT) OS that does the job. I wish Microsoft would stop trying to show off and focus on usability and performance again like the good old days.

SDRacer48 Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I want one thing when Windows 7 comes out... That is for all the people who naturally hate/dislike/pick on/etc. Microsoft not to buy the product. Don't even download it, write reviews based on a week of experience, or install it on a computer that they "know will not support it". The NT kernel is a strong, reliable base kernel that has been used for years. It works, plain and simple. Do not dispute this, because right now I am typing on Windows XP which runs on the NT Kernel. DO NOT DISPUTE ME!!!! (Patton Oswalt). Any operating system or computer software need faster and better hardware as time progresses. Its a fact of computer life. Note: Leopard will not run or at least run smoothly on an iBook G3 600 MHz. Ah, the days, running Windows 95 on a whole 64Mb of Ram. A bloated pile of software? Windows, OS X, and every other operating system that progresses over time have increase in size. Yes a more compacted base kernel is expected though. I can't wait for Windows 7, because personally, I am not a big fan of Vista yet (note my sig, vista not installed)...

MadDoggyca Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Windows 7 will be rewriten from scrach Windows 7 WILL NOT USE THE FOLLOWING Explore.exe (The Explore shell will be removed) NO ntkernel (kernel will be rewritten form scratch) The task bar / tray bar / startmenu will not exists....it's be replaced by pie menus and ribbons (Robbins some what that office 2007 has) AND THERE WILL BE NO BACKWORDS COMPATIBLE FOR SOFTWARE>>>>>>SO you only be able to install software written for the OS... This is actuality good new for all windows users.... a fresh start. no mal-ware no spy-ware, and no viruse will run on this os until such programs are exsculsive written for windows 7....whats this mean got us in the long run untill windows 7 is the main OS and there is be no need for pervouse windows...will just have to dual boot untill such time.. but in the end that not really going to bother anybody... also even though on the wiki it states there will be a 32 bit and 64 client side.actually there will only be a 64bit client side... also it will need dual core or more to run...but around 2010 who will still be running a pc will only a single core and 2 gig of ram anywazs?

SpeedfreaK Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 i don't think that microsoft can or would make an os that's not backwards compatible with other software, because thats just the reason why people still use windows: there are tons and tons of applications for it. i think that if they sell an os that's not backwards compatible that a lot of people will switch to mac because they can't use their applications under the new windows and with some special software (called crossover) they can run them in mac os x. Microsoft sucks and will always suck and that's because of their massive user base which won't switch from the one day to the other on a completly new os that's not backwards compatible.

Oh ok, they suck. Your joking right, right? Members of their currently massive user base switch to Mac and Linux everyday. And my generation (between 15 and 20 years old) and the generations that follow are more tech savy and computer friendly than ever before and that will only increase. The willingness to change and explore different operating systems is becoming greater and greater every passing day. Proof: My 11 year old cousin has just installed Ubuntu on My Aunt's desktop, dual booting. A freaking 11 year old. Microsoft knows what they hell they are doing. If they say it is time to switch to something completely different (windows design and compaitability wise), then people will change and follow, plain and simple. A billion dollar company, and they suck? That is one hell of an arguement you got there!

If it would be so then it would really be great. I dont hate Windows - i only hate vista because its full of thing you dont need and its slow and ugly. The big problem with ms is that they always try to make old apps compatible - and thats not nessasary - totay computers are powerful enought to emulate the "old system" (like rosetta) - apple did a "new from the scratch" many times (from Motorola to PPC from OS9 to X, from PPC to intel) and they're better then ever and they have a fast OS with a big bunch of apps which is growing every day. Ask yourself: How many apps do you have to emulate today with rosetta?? and even if you have to but your system isn slow because its carrying the whole bunch of compatibility with it sorry for my nice english Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/69724-windows-7/#findComment-512944 Share on other sites More sharing options...

A billion dollar company, and they suck? That is one hell of an arguement you got there! Apple could do that because their user base is much smaller and everyone who uses apple is enthousiast about it. Most of the windows users today that have bought (professional) applications which cost a lot of money won't switch immediatly to a totally new os. The users on this forum are a bit more experienced than the average computer user and for us it wouldn't be a problem to switch to a totally new os, because we know how to dual boot, how to emulate. And we are a minor part of the computer users. i don't think my grandfather or my father would be pleased with such a new os which isnt backwards compatible. The biggest part of the clients of microsoft are total computer noobs and that's the kind of people where microsoft focuses on when they develop a new os.

VMWare runs SVGA drivers only for video??? how can u play a game that the driver do not suport DX or any 3d features if you want to play games buy an NES the fact is that MS keeps the compatibility because many companys have their own "special" software, and maybe this software was designed to run on windows 3.11 once - so they still want to use their software today because it has cost millons to develop it and thats the fact.
