The UAC in Vista is crappy designed... so better get the REAL Windows 7 (I won't :-P)

You don't even need a software which will add to your amount of processes. I am using a full theme for Vista that looks exactly like Windows 7. The themes include changing window system files to make explorer and such look even more like it.

I never got this obsession about the windows looks...make your 98 look like XP!
Make your XP look like Vista! Make your Vista look like Windows7!

Gimme a break, and make your DOS look like Windows7

vista makes me go grey...and the worst part is, our CEOs decided to start the Vista rollout, even though we all told them to faken wait for Windows7...We will not get Vista out until the end of the year, and by that time, we could have been working on the 7 release...but noooo

Well, the higher the job, the less knowledge of IT...
One of my neightbours is teacher. They switched from MacOS to Windows Vista after a vote (final vote by the president) - now they've got a crap OS that on one uses (all use XP) and no one gets how it's working (all the teacher used Mac before)...

If you want drive status bar under you drives in XP (like in vista or w7) you can use this simple software: [url]http://rizeworkshop.blogspot.com/2009/03/vista-drive-status-bar-in-xp.html[/url]

all you need is to run it and you're done

About the real Windows 7, I heard it will only be released in 2010. And users will have the legal licenses to downgrade to Vista or XP if they buy Windows 7. But 2010 seems far away anyway >.<

[Perito]

Windows 7 Requirements:

- 1 GHz 32-bit or 64-bit processor or higher
- 1 GB of system memory or more
- 16 GB of available disk space
- Support for DirectX 9 graphics with 128 MB memory (to enable the Aero theme)

Windows installation takes 16 GB !
