Windows 7: Windows 8 to Sport New GUI Codenamed Wind, Reportedly

can't wait , everyone will be forced with 64bit now

Which likely won't improve the performance for 90% of them in the least.

(talking if it was true... but I know for a fact that they are only rumors)

HOLY S--- Man, I see gamers staying on Windows 7...

I think MS will also include this theme on the x64 version of Win8. What make me thinks that is what if people doesn't have a video card with enough memory to run the "special" GUI? We'll have performance problems of course.

Awesome. That dull square grey UI is long declared dead by myself in fact - long dead... I mean since XP. Good riddance, I say.

Now we want screenshots :P

Alright! I'm already getting excited.

I lol'd.

Anyway, 170 MB just for the UI? Ehhh...I know most cards of today can handle that without a hitch, but that's a fair bit of memory. Hopefully the UI is improved enough to justify it.

Nice

By the time the OS is released most cards will probably be at 2gig anyway so 170mb is nothing, and as you noted, even now it's not a problem.

Thanks for the link,
very interesting

I guess my laptop won't work for the purposed "wind" feature only have 128MB

I guess that will make the users "windy". That won't be a stretch for some of the current users any how.

They need to focus on Windows 7, instead of worrying about win8. There hasn't even been an official release date for the service pack 1 yet, and they are already talking about win8.
