Windows 7

i heard its gonna be touchscreen or have a touchscreen version.

it annoys me that Windows are even making things when vista is still half finished IMO

Yes your right vista is teh ghey and needs a lot of work to make it a viable option for an all rounder OS.

Touchscreen is old old technology tbh. Windows XP works fine with touch screen...... Im planning a carputer using XP which will be working from a 7" touch screen.

cant see any use for that in my car yet i want one

How about 120gb+ of storage, Mp3, Mp4, Divx, AVI, Mpeg, DVD, Support (basically everything a PC can play), wireless broadband such as 3 (HSDPA), oh and Sat Navigation such as Tomtom.

Meh!

but its not all that simple lol

Why not?... Its just a PC in a smaller form factor. Touch screen works of USB and VGA. Only thing thats different and a little tricky is sorting out power.

Microsoft have confirmed that Windows 7 will be due for release late 2009

They have also confirmed that it will be touch screen, see a demo of it here

have they confirmed that it will be crap yet or not?

I thought that would be self explainatory .

christ, Just look at Vista and Windows XP wasn't usable until SP1.

i know

you think they would deploy it to some people for PROPER testing for a couple of months first

They should just Junk the abortion that was vista, say sorry to everyone that bought it, and give them windows 7 AFTER it's actually a stable OS. Of course this won't happen, but Meh.

Not to mention it was 5years in the making to and its still s***e

You better not live in Prestatyn. Otherwise I shall break into your house, pin you to your bed and give you a lecture about how great Vista is

Been using Vista in various forms for about 2 and a half years and I think it's great. There's no reason to upgrade to Vista if you've already bought XP I'll admit but if you're buying a new PC there's no need to spec XP with it.

What's s***e about it?

Because my 3 favourite games run like a bag of ****e on it. The OS itself works ok (after i've spent 3 hours configuring it including turning all the noob eye candy s*** off).

So now I just use a slimline XP install for gaming and Linux for everything else.
