#Michael Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 (edited) Saw this over at arstechica...a journal page about some new features in w7 and a youtube video that shows them off. Real...fake...who knows but damn are they cool. http://arstechnica.com/journals/microsoft....dows-7-features Youtube video: Edited May 13, 2008 by TechMedik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Gary7 Subscriber² Posted May 13, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted May 13, 2008 Fake. Looks a great deal like Vista to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cara Veteran Posted May 13, 2008 Veteran Share Posted May 13, 2008 Wonderful Mockup, too bad the real thing will look like a Microsoft Product. ;) Edit: Please note, this comment was made as a humorous comment. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simsie Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I call fake. It seems to have progressed a tad too far than usual at this stage. UI Designs (like tabs) would come later, surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olemus Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Fake. Looks a great deal like Vista to me. Which is what windows 7 will probably look like when its done, and if its an early release the GUI is bound to look almost the same even if they DO change it for the final release Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#Michael Posted May 13, 2008 Author Share Posted May 13, 2008 I say fake also. There was a couple of shots that I swear looked like XP.....the tabbed explorer had a xp look to it. Even though the outside borders were definately vista, the inside just looked like xp. I call B.S. on this for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cara Veteran Posted May 13, 2008 Veteran Share Posted May 13, 2008 :laugh: tho some will take offense and scream "troll" :p I'm sure they will when actually it was intended as a compliment, I love to see the Microsoft Mockups since they are often just as ornate as anything Apple Design comes up with! Sadly though somewhere along the way things get lost. Happens to us all though, I mean, look at Leopard...what happened to Mac OS's artistic look there? :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel Blue01 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Very cool, hope they take the ideas in the real Windows 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmmay Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 If it's fake, someone went to alot of trouble to make it! I'm putting my faith in it to say it's real :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismaddern Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Please nobody else ever say that anything is fake because it 'looks like Vista'!! Can we stick this somewhere.... Windows 7 Builds will look exactly like Vista for quite some time!!! As above, if it's fake; they've gone to a LOT of effort, could just be real :) Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoDEAN Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Far from breathtaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingroof Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Here's an idea.. wait until it's released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dc'1 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I'd say its real, as said above, it would take a lot of effort to fake that just for the fun of it. Besides, the features are probably just working, still with problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamhook Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 FAKE! But some of those features would be nice. The disk manager, for example. (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julius Caro Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 windows explorer looks like a.. mid 90s? version of itself , lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Fahim S. MVC Posted May 13, 2008 MVC Share Posted May 13, 2008 I call it fake because it doesn't look enough like Vista - too much there were revolutionary changes to the UI where Microsoft tends to mostly take an evolutionary approach (and rightly so).

trip21 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 FAKE, FAKE, FAKE, FAKE, FAKE! Their is no way in hell that they would be using the glass interface at this early stage of development. Also remember the Vista interface is a hastily cobbled together POC; Vista was meant to feature a revolutionary new interface, but like so much of what was meant to be in vista it got shelved to meet it's ultra late release date.

TheElite Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 That looks real. I wouldn't doubt the authenticity of it. I heard these features being implemented a bit of time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigitalE Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 That tabbed Explorer looks really ugly, in my opinion... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Yeah, the explorer looks really crappy. If it's fake, he sure put a lot of work into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gadean Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Fake! And here's why: I don't think Microsoft would bundle a blog designer with their OS. It's out of place. It belongs with Office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
