![]() ![]() Personally I think a Q4 CY2009 (November enterprise/business launch, January 2010 consumer launch) is more realistic. No one really knows of course but lately there have been some rumors on the interwebs that Windows 7 would be landing just before the summer of 2009. Source: So when is this secret OS coming out? One should also consider the compatibility issues created when changing some as fundamental as the Windows kernel itself. ![]() They (Microsoft) did say they are brining improvements to the kernel as always. The current NT kernel is just fine and, although people like to think otherwise, is fairly fast. Microsoft stated on their official Windows 7 blog they won’t be bringing a brand new kernel to the system as it’s simply not needed. Will Windows 7 have a completely new and rewritten kernel powering the OS giving us more power? ![]() Based upon user input when Vista launched, Microsoft refined UAC in the Windows Vista Service Pack 1 release. Also note that Microsoft is very much paying attention to the general public on this issue. It showed a configuration panel allowing the user to set when and how the user should be notified of UAC notifications. In some of the latest leaked screenshots, it showed Microsoft is however working on refining the user experience when using User Account Control. Linux and Mac OS X have had this design for ages now, separating users from admins and raising privileges on the spot when needed. UAC as designed is a basic security and permissions/access design that should be implemented in every modern day operating system. I hate User Account Control (UAC) in Vista! Are they going to change that at all?
