So the new Windows 7 OS BETA has been released from CES this week. Now I never have used Vista itself as an OS mind you. I owned a PC but it has XP on it and I refused to upgrade because of all the things that I herd bad about Vista. Then I went out and got a Mac. So I cannot really judge Vista on anything except for what I've herd and the few times I have used it on other computers that are not my own. That said, Windows 7 looks just like Vista, appearance wise, except a little more glossy. I have seen that it has implemented a new media player, a suped-up form of paint, a more convenient task bar, and various new apps. including something identical to the Mac's Expose. Oh, and they changed the name of the security system. Basically from what I've gathered Windows 7 seems to tweek and fix all the little things that were flawed about Vista, and more. It seems to make navigation and control of the interface itself much easier. Vista was a broken car and Windows 7 is that same car repaired and cleaned. But, of course I have herd different problems but this is only the BETA so that's expected.

What I have noticed is that Windows 7 is trying to make navigation and control very easy by adding apps. and controls that eliminate certain unneeded things, or that provide easier access to everything. This is very like the Mac in my opinion. The Mac may be hard to get use to but after you do you realize how easy everything is to get to and how uncluttered everything is. It seems to me like Windows 7 aimed to essentially get to the same control system that the Mac is at, then they added some gloss. With Window 7's "Library" which is identical to Mac's "Expose." I am not saying this is a bad thing, companies know what is good and easy, and my ideas may be blurred because believe me, I do not know close to anything about computers themselves. I am only offering my perspective. Not to sound ignorant, but with computers, I am ignorant. But the whole Windows 7 OS and the Mac's OS is kinda like when the PS3 made it's games had trophies when the 360 already had achievements.
