Think it would be cool if Microsoft made the next windows like that.

According to Microsoft, they are making Drastic changes to the next version of windows.
For instance there completely starting from scratch, Making a new Kernel and Bios designed to make Windows Faster and Safer.
(if they actually do it :/ Who knows...)

I don't understand the point of it. It's the same exact system, except it has a visual upgrade, (or downgrade, if you're me, since I don't like it - I have to move my mouse over anything to make anything appear, whereas I'd rather just have everything just there already - start menu, system tray, etc). You can already do all the library crap with Windows 7, (32-1:05), when he moved the internet explorer icon to the right as if it was some amazing feat at 1:20, you can do that in Windows 7 already, too, and you can see the tabs pop up like that already.

The only real actual improvement was the combine-icons together to open all at the same time, but that's just silly - clicking three icons is not too hard, and it makes your tools folder cleaner than having a bunch of 'combined' icons.

Nah, it's not even finished yet - they're basically making it an "all around better system".

Knowing Microsoft, though, it'll suck, but at least it'll look cool.

Deciding on an OS is merely a matter of opinion. Not everyone likes linux, some like macs (lol), but most stick with windows and that's where I'll be.
