Nice article, but I think that, for the moment, I'll go back to build 7022. Build 7048 is giving me headaches, mainly with games and desktop slideshow...

I cant help but get the feeling everyone at Microsoft are all sat in their chairs absolutely bored out of their minds waiting for the top cheese to say " its official! we release Windows 7 to the today!"
By the screen shots and changes in the side by side pic's it looks like their all leaning back messing around with the icons in paintshop.... some of what i feel look less professional than their original icons... Kinda looking like something my little sister has painted on her Nintendo DS paint by numbers game, but then i suppose there is still time for then to be changed again

Shame they cant spend finding better pre installed bloat ware to replace the likes of minesweeper and solitaire
Not that im complaining or anything.. mutter mutter grumble grumble... ahem i mean im well chuffed with what they have done with Windows 7 and will be (fingers crossed) one if the first people to get and install an official released off the shelf version on my system but i do like the way it looks in build 7000 and would hate for its to look like it was designed by someone who still thinks the live in the psychedelic 60's
enough of the retro already lets keep it need tidy and clean with colours that wont look out of fashion when we tell our grand kids how back in the day "we used to run window 7 which in its time was really advanced"... and so on only for then to say well yeah pops but my 3 year old kids cud design and OS better looking than that :P
ok rant over... im gonna go hide now before M$ come after me with their 5 1/4 inch floppy discs
