Well, looks like there's really keeping things under wraps, like Apple does with their products.

 

[Chaoswarrior]

huh,looks like the new interface is coming...be ready...

 

[ViennaX]

Its comming when ready. Most likely in M3

 

[Matt]

M3 or possibly later. Windows Longhorn M3 looked exactly like Windows XP, and it didn't look like Vista till beta 2.

 

[ViennaX]

Well, Microsoft has only planned for Seven to only go to M3, Thats the last Milestone.. Then comes the Beta!

The "Superbar" is supposed to be a placeholder.
The actual planned "taskbar" at this time resides in the bottom right corner, and rolls out in interlocking, overlapping circles.

 

[ViennaX]

Well, you never know whats going to happen. I mean Microsoft Originally stated that its going to have a new UI and move away from the classic "start menu"

What kind of menu do you think they could replace the "start menu" with?

 

[Matt]

@ViennaX: interesting, any info on if they are public or private betas?

@Snake: Perhaps the Start Pie? They did say that there would be pie menues in winodws 7 or blackcomb at one time.

 

[Kyle]

I heard the Beta is supposed to be public, the second one at least.

 

[ViennaX]

@Matt: Well I have some inside info from one of Microsoft's Partners, Perhaps you would have heard of them? IBM.
The first beta is not scheduled for public use. But I doubt that it wont be leaked.
@Snake: What are you talking about, There are a million ways to replace the start menu. And yes Matt Microsoft did say there would be something like a Pie-Menu.

Hope I answered your questions. If you have anymore, Just ask!

You mean Lenovo.
That's their PC division.

 

[ViennaX]

Yep, Sorry..

Windows 7 taskbar is the most improved thing from my perspective from this version of windows compared to all the rest. Never before since windows 1 have you been able to pin icons to the taskbar and launch straight to the applications.
