Windows Vista Leaks ... Again!

Posted by samzenpus on from the look-at-it-now dept.

This latest build includes some major revamping of Windows Media Player, including a smart interface. Also, IE 7 now sports tabs a la Firefox, under the address bar. Are these leaks accidental, or is Microsoft actually trying to pull a 360?"

    Honestly, do even diehard MS fans even care?

    I find it interesting that it is "leaked" the same day as Ubuntu "Breezy Badger" 5.10. Is MS trying to subvert its toughest FOSS competitor?
    It worked. It made you look. It got on the main page of Slashdot even and Ubuntu's breezy badger didn't. Besides, haven't you noticed that most magazines and news sites have a quota to churn out a pair of MS articles regardless of relevance or merit -- oh, as long as they don't discuss current or on going illegal behavior or, worse, discussing security or other technical shortcomings.

    It's simple: Chairman Bill pulls the chain and y'all bark.

    Beta is broken and the link to classic doesn't work. Stop wasting our time or there won't be anybody left here.

    I fail to see the logic in your post. Just because the Windows interface is not drawn suing OpenGL does not mean that what is inside that interface (the windows) cannot be drawn using OpenGL. I am pretty sure that if you use an nVidia graphics card (and even an ATI one) that you will still be able to run OpenGL applications as the hardware drivers will support OpenGL.

    Go back in your hole and quit trying to troll the /. community. There is enough FUD coming from Microsoft without you Free Software fanbois adding more fuel to the proverbial fire.

    That's total bull. I run Microsoft Vista on a machine with 1 GB of ram and it runs PERFECTLY fine, with all the bells and whistles.

    Microsoft cannot help it if their users install crap that steals the CPU.
