Windows 7 'Windows 7 will be vista but a lot better'

My Ms Cleo premonition

I think quite possibly it has to do with mobile applications. MS is apparently planning on opening up sotres throughout this fine country we have. Link Removed

Everyone already sells their software. So why else would MS be opening up stores unless they planned on competing in the mobile market.

so i wonder what is hidden though?

That's a very good point.. I forgot about them opening up stores... That certainly would lead one to believe the hidden feature (s) could have something to do with mobile devices then..

I still do not see how my Vista Premium can be the only perfect running Vista in use world wide.

Only problem I ever had with it was the same problem I had with XP: optimizing search, which I figured out was a bit different from XP to Vista.

Vista is a beautiful, fast OS, at least on this Toshiba Satellite; I will never cover it with Windows 7 or any other OS, although I do swap out hard drives to fool around with various Linux distributions and now Windows 7.

Windows 7 beta seems to be a bit "lighter" than Vista, comparitively.. maybe a bit faster, hard to tell (have not done any benchmarks, etc).

I'll buy Windows 7 but it'll be put on a spare hard drive; Vista stays (for as long as it's supported).

I'm happy with Vista too, now that I have it running on suitable hardware. My first attempt with it was a dismal failure. But it's great now ... 64-bit with 8GB RAM ... Photoshop loves it

Just the same, when "7" comes out it'll make sense to upgrade, since it's looking like it'll be even better . I just installed "7" in a VM in VPC 2007 running on top of Vista/64.... and though I don't have extra licences of my software to install copies there, what little I've done with it so far looks good.
