Windows Seven Box Shots Appear

[tw33k]

Not sure if these are legit but they look cool. What do you all think?

Are these the Windows 7 retail boxes? - Ars Technica

 

[Captain Zero]

Pretty weak looking if they are real. Windows 7 is much classier than any of those boxes.

MMM so vista looking

 

[Dark Nova Gamer]

In my personal opinion, the color shade of both Professional and Home Premium, are ugly.

Hope those aren't legit as they are ugly! (my opinion)

Agreed! These same apparent leaked box covers have been floating around for a month already. You can see some of them in the May 14th article at Are these the Windows 7 retail boxes? - Ars Technica

I don't know why people are complaining over the color and texture of the packaging...it's not like you're gonna be placing them right next to your blinged out desktop or laptop monitors with a dot of sparkle on the corner of it gleaming torwards you as you type away on Windows 7 . You're just gonna pop box open and get the DVD then throw it in trash or under a pile of other PC garbage on your desk .

Actually no I'll use the case to keep other important discs in it, so I want it to be pretty. I stated this on many threads, we all have our opinions and we all want options. my opinion is to make it prettier!

ultimate black looks better, but design should be better !!!

 

[holo88]

wtf? looks like someone in the art department was being lazy, or just sucks.

I wouldn't go by anything at this time until there's some form of actual release information provided by MS directly. Everybody can hooblah over each article where someone simply relabeled the packaging seen for Vista in order to stick it on a web page with everyone staring in awe without any direct MS confirmation on anything.

i agree 100%. They don't get framed and hung on the wall. I like them tho.

The logo is consistent with some pics a friend sent me from a m$ launch in China

People still want a link for things to look for themselves. That's one thing you'll tend to find out fast around here on anything regarding 7! :shock:

[MasterEvilAce]

It's simple. It doesn't matter. As long as it catches your eye, and you know what it is.. that's all that matters
