Windows APCMag sums up the information we already have on Windows 7. "We're still in the long dark before 7's dawn, but the earliest signs are encouraging: a new streamlined kernel, an inbuilt VM for running old software, a revised and simplified UI... There's every chance that Microsoft intends Windows 7 to rise from the ashes of Vista and be what Mac OS X was for Apple."

This is mostly the same crap that they said Vista would be and... surprise... in their "brand new simplified UI" are still some Win3.11(!) Dialogs that under no circumstances would have been even acceptable in Win 2000. Now using the font Install for example with its brand new Win3.11 Dialog that has been designed for 640*480 Resolutions (non-resizeable of course) is really fun using with an magnifying glass on a 2560*1600 Monitor.
A Vista Ultimate License costs as much as a Full low budget PC in Germany and i *do* expect at least the illusion of a hint of quality for that.
