   The next OS X is probably well under way. Good luck with trying to keep your market share.

   There is one small feature I think Windows 7 should include, it's the separation of the games from programs in the Install/Uninstall panel in Windows Control Panel, so we might have two different sections, one for the programs (Microsoft programs separated from third party) and a Games management section so we might not have to see a list cluttered by everything installed on the computer. An optionnal full view should be included as well.

   Forgive my bad english, I'm a French Canadian.

   Ah Windows 7 finally, hopefully my new company will come into some money and decide to upgrade its software, equipment, servers everything, it needs a serious makeover!

   My old company went belly up, massive layoffs, took me 3-4 months to get a new job at a smaller company, but man does the IT infrastructure need an overhaul.  Im hoping that Windows 7 can provide that excuse that IT desperately needs to start a fresh.

   Seriously when you have to drive into work, on a Sunday, only to pick up a 2 page fax, then scan it in, and email it to your boss who is at home just so he can look at it...well, your company really needs to get a makeover.  On the bright side I have a job now.

   On the plus side my IE7 just stopped working, probably caught a trojan or something from some work files or something, but actually that may have been a blessing because I downloaded IE8 (from Firefox), as I said IE7 had the croak of death...  and IE8 is much faster than IE7 for me, perhaps even FireFox aswell.  The only thing I dont like is that the Suggested Sites takes up to much space when not used so I had to rename it to "SS".  Would be nice if it had an icon, maybe a globe with a question mark or something like that.

   Thanks guys!

   anonymuos, I agree.  I stated this in the betas of Vista, and Microsoft put up wall's then. Just look at the new beta's  of IE 8 and it's blog, it is the same old wall.  As far as the UI is concerned all Microsoft wants to here is, " We love you. " If you disagree with their decisions then your are, "Just being Negative"  What it comes down to is, "CHOICE"  and living with in walls,  I don't think Windows 7 will any different, it will be, "Ribbons" and Microsoft way. it will be no, "CHOICE." It will be "Life with Walls"  I would love to see Microsoft actually, "walk the Talk." Just give us, a Choice, Just give us, "Life with out Walls....."

    Hey, at least it's not Apple where they just delete post of people having issues with their products and replace them with "This post is not available due to a technical error".
