    These look fake.

    That looks like the Microsoft Zune theme in the bottom screenshot, just with some stuff changed.

    I know Vista is bad/will get better, but there is no way $soft is abandoning it already. Unless they are going back to the 98/2000/xp sweep again. So we see this OS in 09?

    Fake.

    First one has to be Linux.

The universe will go on, indifferent to our brief existence, but while we are here we touch not just part of that vastness, but also the lives around us. Life is the gift each of us has been given. Each life is our own and no one else's. It is precious beyond all counting. It is the greatest value we have. Cherish it for what it truly is."

    Second one is a maybe, but the first is definitely a photoshop of a Linux distro.

    Glad to see they are fubbing up windows even more newb BS. Look at the bottom of the window in the first screenshot.

    System Status :OK
    Disk Defragmented :YES
    Problem :NO
    Security Files :YES

    Talk about useless information to clutter your view space with.

    Other than that, I hope the next windows is more than just a visual mix-up.

    If you could inform me on how to get Linux to look like that, I will buy you a steak.

    These all look fake.
    I hope Microsoft doesn't take the approach of having the start menu take up 35% of your screen.

    All I want to see in the next Microsoft operating system is workspaces, performance as the main goal, and a nice UI to keep it clean.

    In my opnion, real. Very nice too.


    Mac OS X Dock approach?

    All looks to be skins and such. None seems real in my view. And the MS coders I know also debunks it.

    I won’t make a hard statement saying that these are not the screenshots of Windows Vienna but as far as I know Microsoft, I doubt they are going to leak the Alpha version screenshots of Windows Vienna already. That would be like giving a second big competition to Windows Vista (first, one is Windows XP already)

    fake for one simple reason.

    If you go through all the trouble of getting some screen shoots of Windows 7 you would not get them in 640x400 dimensions.

    its like having a photograph of Jessica Alba naked but its microscopic in size.

    Probably the UI and the basic mechanics.
    Vista + XP = Windows 7?

    i would say fake. the kernel is still pre-beta, so i doubt there's a full gui running.

    Sorry, in my book nothing is valid unless its in a case, and hence, a "normal" environment, by all means go nuts on cooling not a problem, but an open top setup with an OC ppl claim to be stable when in all reality inside a PC it probably won't be? Thats just unacceptable to me.
