37 Brand New Windows 7 M3 Screenshots

Yeah I'm Happy about it too . . I was beginning to get deeply saddened (when on that page ) looking at that poor sight for innovation that is to be Win7 yes?

seriously what can I say it was looking..."tragic" ..ok maybe that's harsh.. but it wasn't looking good.

I couldn't careless about Paint/Calculator/WMP (gaah and to think I once thought that had potention)/Wordpad/Start menu, and all that ribbonized nonsense(not that I don't dislike the ribbon completly) but most of that stuff is fluff, the thought of MS going that extra mile to make something overal better is just rare. When they actually get a feature right (although rare in itself due to the lack of customizing/options they must really hate giving users choice, how can they ever get anything right without some other outside developer having to pick up where they left off?), its usually only a small part of application while its still surrounded by crap that still wasn't done right.. of course what would it matter if you didn't know or expect anything anybetter. 

And most techies will install something better to use instead or buy other software/ or free addons that can do better to replace most of what Windows teams can't seem to grasp when they make sh/t lame noob improvements to what seems like every area of Windows and its extra software.. if only there was an Ultimate version of Windows to replace Windows with ... maybe a real Ultimate team of more talented guys to come in and cleanup this noobware, replace/redo and scrap the crap or at least go the extra step to make what they develop better and more useful and perhaps have more direct feedback with enthusiasts. I think a lot of people would pay extra for something that was above and beyond the crap they've tried to pass off in vista and what looks to be Win7, if only it was actually "Genuinely" better.

And the one area of importance to me is the explorer and the overal core windows UI design and layout, and thats all still probably gonna be like pffff, the transfer windows/prompts/ the open/save dialogs, I'm guessing most likely will all work and look like noob rubbish ... just can't see them improving much if the vista development timeline was what we got from XP. oh and the task manager(who was morron! who thought ctrl+shift+esc was good key combo for the task manager!? I suppose its not a bad location if you don't mind slamming your entire fist down on that side of the keyboard! I mean you're bound to get all 3 keys easily that way.. and yes I know its been around for a While but removing the direct use ctrl+alt+del to the task manager -idiots) 

Btw are MS employees given mice with mousewheels? cus unless the window has a scrollbar attached to it the usefulness of a mousewheel seems to be pretty errr useless, unless in small cases of holding down extra keys! to change explorer views or icon sizes.. wow :/ ... but they certainly don't make much use of it..  say in the alt-tab area perhaps!? any decently developed tabbed ui makes use of the mousewheel if they can even grasp the usefulness of adding a tabbed UI at all!, so why is it that the taskbar still doesn't allow the mousewheel to invoke the alt-tab or the live bar whatever process when the mouse is over the taskbar? let alone any other area where a sort of mouseover event can allow for the mousewheel to do useful intuitive stuffs! 

Why is that something so easy as allowing the mousewheel to add an alternative to replace keypresses in flicking through opened applications? obviously anything intuitive to improve workflow goes out he friggin window or most likely never even entered that train of thought at MS land, intuitive workflow = null, well designed and possibly informative windows/dialogs= nah not much. oh newly opened explorer views that still default to opening at a paltry 800x600!! and no options to change the defaultyness!! of it in sight let alone being able to manage windows sizes/positions without having to use other addons that don't seem to have access to such existing saved folder info.. shame on you MS, in the day and age of higher resolutions and multimonitor setups shame on you.

btw do you know what I did find good about those screenshots... noticing that the pathetic cyan line was removed from all right/bottom sides of those fat ugly Aer-eeergh UI borders.. but hey that was just tiny thing hindering the ugly vista GUI.. it still overal all looks -well you know what I would say.

oh why did that thinknext guy include like a half dozen screenshots of that junky noob IE8 browser? don't we already know what that looks and works like it? should't we be seeing IE8.5 the slighty better but not much better browser & engine

its the most awkard 1 handed key combo to make!  from a rested palm position on the keyboard there is no comfortable way to make that keycombo without moving you hand/palm! .. so it doens't matter if you can do it, thats not the issue I can do it, but its easier r than the older method...even the satisfaction of hitting those keys!  The repetition on needing to access the task manager doesn't warrant removing older  access methods its just stupid/retarded. Not to mention ctrl+alt+del is tied to the conception of many thousands of users wonderful windows experiences 

well lets just say they got it right in XP then shall we.

" I especially like how you can divine from a static screenshot the behavior of the scrollwheel."

yeah well this is MS i've come to expect very little thats good from them! making little predictions like that is just to easy. Maybe they'll do something about it!.. or maybe they have already...course I wouldn't know.... so until i do find out, I'll say what ever I want about stuffs hmmkay.  And this is MS I'm sick of useless poorly developed noob features and software if I want to speculate on a bunch of screenshots that may or may not be alpha win7 etc the hell I will then! 

btw they have the power to make and break things and so when they make changes they should be accountable to take the flak from those who they piss off!... its not like they provide easy ways for users to really personalize and customize things to there satisfaction without waiting and looking around for outside developers with the time to improve things that should have just been done right the first time.
