Windows 7 to make appearance at D6 Conference
The show will begin tonight with Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer onstage where, in addition to just discussing their vision and ideas on Windows 7, they will supposedly reveal a little bit of the user interface as well. There are also a few nuggets of info to be found in a recent interview with Windows chief Steven Sinofsky, where he dispels rumors that Microsoft is creating a new “minimum” kernel for Windows 7. According to Sinofsky, the plan is to refine the kernel architecture introduced in Vista without adding things like new driver models so as to avoid the incompatibility fiasco that was the initial Vista launch.

I wonder if it will instantly do better than Vista simply because all the people who dislike Vista will hail this as their savior.

Windows chief Steven Sinofsky, where he dispels rumors that Microsoft is creating a new “minimum” kernel for Windows 7. Translation- Will still be bloated and slow. When will these companyies wake up ?? We don't all want the WOW! Give people the option! And bring back the XP classic interface. How hard can it be to give people a choice. You will get more people to follow you. Not everyone wants the new vision. You force people to go your way and they don't like it they will just move on to something which does give them more flexability and speed.Nope XP will still be better. Because you need a Dual 8-Core 5 GHZ processors, 16GB Ram, 2048GB Video Card, 10TB Hd Space, 2000-Watt power supply and your own nuclear reactor to run it. If you install symantec total internet super security suite you mise well forget it.

If they put out Windows 7 and it is much faster than Windows XP and runs all XP/Vista programs, then it's a legit product... and would be extremely successful.If they continue down their path of lame bloated garbage OS's, they will just shrink their share and eventually vanish due to satisfaction with previous versions?
