Exclamation Windows 7 and Windows Vista features that need to be fixed - 08-17-2008, 01:02 PM

Hello everyone,

As you know, Microsoft launched the Engineering Windows 7 blog in which they want to start a two-way discussion about how their engineering team is working on Windows Vista's successor - Windows 7.

Windows Vista for Beginners has published this article in which we want to engage as many people as possible and discuss about what Windows Vista features/problems need to be changed/fixed/upgraded in Windows 7.

You are all invited to this discussion. Please make use of the link below and leave your comments.

Anonymous postings work so you don't have to create an account.

This is our chance to make our voices heard.

Thanks a lot for your support on this.

Will check it out. Thanks for the heads up. But what comes to my mind first and foremost is they should do something about UAC.

See, from what we know about Windows 7 : Windows 7 builds on Vista code base, Its compatibility with Vista is good, Vista deployment will ease future migration to Windows 7, Devices 7 Application Compatibility will improve. That will be the focus. UI changes will be minimal, No major changes in the hardware requirements will be there in Windows 7, over Vista, Windows 7 will have 32bit and 64 bit versions, and both will be priced at roughly the same level.

So what we can look at or hope for is basically improving on some Vista features and/or getting rid of perceived irritants: UAC being one of the most talked of !

A poll here at WinVistaclub showed that quite a few actually chose to turn off UAC, knowing that it wasnt good for them! A case of the protector became too noisy for one's liking. MS, maybe, should seriously try and give the 'Remember my Action' kinda option...

The things which I want to be fixed in Windows Seven:

SP1 Failed to Fix Several Windows Vista Bugs, Do We Need SP2?

Since Windows Seven will be based upon Vista, I hope these bugs will be fixed.

We read all the comments we received on our site and other locations such as the Engineering Windows 7 blog and we compiled almost everything into this article:

How to make Windows 7 the best Microsoft OS ever

I hope you will enjoy reading it.
