Here’s a little info to prepare you for the arrival of Windows 7. Sure, it’s still well over a year away and sure, all this stuff could change at the drop of a hat, but let’s just run with


it. According to Technologizer, an early build of Windows 7 may contain some or all of the following: – A fancier calculator. – The Office 2007 Ribbon thing may cross over into WordPad and


MS Paint. – Potentially less annoying User Access Control. – My Documents will be called Libraries? Come on Microsoft, there’s no need to rename that stuff all the time. – Control Panel will


have System Tray settings. – There will be a lightweight version of Windows Media Player for playing videos. – Internet Explorer 8 So nothing too earth-shattering yet, but there’s still


plenty of development time. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has also been quoted as saying that he wants to make going from Vista to Windows 7 “less jarring,” which may mean fewer interface


changes and (hopefully) not as much incompatible driver rigmarole. You can get more Windows 7 information at Microsoft’s Engineering Windows 7 blog. [Image from Thinknext.net]
