I was looking into these and they all seem really great! I'm really not to sure what to vote on,but so far I like the idea that Windows is finally getting rid of the 50 year old outdated explorer.exe!
Look more into these OS's and tell me what you think will be the next revolution in Windows..... Windows 8 News & Themes

I think Windows 8 will be the next major thing (not counting things like new versions of Office or Visual Studio.NET...maybe IE9 will be out before Win7).

Yes, IE8 was first included in the first builds of Windows 7 and Office 2010 will be out before too long.

Seems as if MS isn't just lying down. Some of those sound interesting, and have to agree that a new explorer.exe is needed, albeit it should be interesting to see what they come up with. :rolleyes:

OMG Singularity !!!... OS written in C# WOOT :D!

OS
Windows 7 32bit RTM
personally i'd like to see MS create a more modular OS and please ditch the registry. personally i find that a lot of the tools and programs inside windows are for me bloatware, i have no use for more than half of them. i think creating an OS where every program could be independent of anything but the bare-bones OS would be more ideal. true i can remove almost anything i want in windows, using tools like vlite but the risk of an update making my entire system unstable is not a risk i'm willing to take, i have to many important documents, as well as photos, music and movies i dont want to lose and when your dealing with terabytes of data backing everything up just isnt conventional anymore.

I really hope Windows 7 will longer than what XP did before the next Windows comes out. Five years at least before the next one hopefully.
