I do know that Windows 7 will be based on, and have the same codebase as, Windows Server 2008, FWIW.

Microsoft is not out of ideas; they're out of good ideas.

That’s no small accomplishment, and it probably is useful in some specialty applications, but I’d personally just rather they rewrote windows to make it smaller and faster. They could stay with a 3.1 looking interface for all I care, and I think that most people would agree. If this is just another bloated layer atop Vista, they’re killing themselves.

It is kind of surprising. Early in the year it looked like they would have a modern micro kernal architecture and support legacy apps in a compatibility box (VM). Seems so logical I just don’t understand why not.

When did Microsoft ever have and idea that they didn't steal or maybe buy from the innovators in the industry?

Wait, they had
MinWin WinFS pretty graphics added to Vista, and they didn't take away
too many features. That counts for something, right?

Microsoft officially announced they were out of ideas when they released Internet Explorer 7 last year.
It's a cheap rip-off of and looks just like the default install of Firefox.
It's been all down hill since then.

As long as MicroShaft continues to design their OS to benefit Hollywood and the RIAA, at the expense of their actual users, they deserve to be bankrupt and driven out of business.

You know how the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch have these cool screens where you drag stuff around with your fingertips? Yeah, Microsoft will do that, too. Great, huh? Apple didn't invent touch screen devices with the iPhone. Besides, Microsoft has been providing support for touch screen in its tablet PC OS's for years.

Touch screens. Yeah thats a great idea, especially at work after a guy picks his nose. Wanna talk pan-epidemics with a MS label? No thanks MS. You offically died with XP. OS will be replaced with web apps.

"Windows Vista has sold 140 million copies,"
I would bet almost 90% of that number came installed with new computers manufactured by companies which really had no choice. MS basically said sell them with Vista or look for another OS company. Having said that I LOVE Office 2007, especially Outlook. It's my favorite Office ever.

Microsoft has ceased innovation and is content to rip off others ideas. That's what happens when you become a monopoly.
