Windows 7 Operating System is the hottest topic in year 2009. Internet Explorer 8 launched this month, we know that Windows 7 is just near the corner. Do you wired to know about the Windows 7 design concept draft in the early stage of development?
According the news from Internet, Windows 7 will in stock end of this year. Properly sometimes around Christmas. We are waiting for it.
Last week in Mix, Windows team presented some Windows 7 interface design concept draft paper. Some of that is totally different what we saw in Windows 7 beta 7000.
1. Lava Lamp Concept proposed to use in Windows Preview. ( Yellow Part ) But this part was take out from Windows 7.
2. Task Bar Direct Preview, the windows can preview directly in task bar. We also did not see this in Beta 7000 anymore.
3. Windows arrangement interface, Windows team drafted a lot of windows arrangement for windows desktop, we also see some 3D interface proposed. I hope that is more fantastic interfaces in Windows 7 release version end of this year.
The next generation of Windows Operating System, Windows 7 will release soon. Some said 4Q of this year, some said 1Q of 2010. Anyway, Microsoft already provided beta download to public to test run the latest Windows OS – Windows 7 few months ago.
The first picture is the default wallpaper in Windows 7 in version beta 7000. Other is the wallpapers available in Windows 7. Different country will have different set of wallpapers in Windows 7.
Most of the wallpapers are very exciting to me. I hope you also like it.
Some one post some Mac OS X 10.6 build 10A261 version Snow Leopard screen captured pictures. The Snow leopard changed some features in the interface.
Firstly, Shortcut key settings got some layout change, it just like Finder, the menu categorized at the left hand side.
The new feature called “Put Back”, it shown in the Finder drop down list, you can recover the files from trash.
Folder Stack effect was improved. In Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, when you click Stack folder, it will open the folder and close the Stack, but for the Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, the Stack can open multi folder by clicking the Stack folder. Another small Stack folder will appear at the left top corner for the root folder.
This is only partial of the features in the new Mac OS X 10.6, Steve Jobs said there will be more than 300 features upgraded from Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard.
Wow, It great! Windows and Apple release new OS soon.
Which you will choose? Windows 7 or Mac OS X Snow Leopard?

My View
The above are leaking screen shots from Internet, I am not sure is the real screen shots or PS’s screen shots. Anyway, the Windows 7 are in development process, We looking forward a new Windows Operating System that excited us.
Microsoft developing next generation of Windows Operating System, “Vienna”. But Microsoft changed the name to Windows 7 now, meant 7th generation of Windows Product.
Windows Vista only released 2 years and many users still using the Windows XP now day. Microsoft already developing next generation of Windows. Why so rush?
I got a video from Internet shown that some of the new features of Windows 7. The interface still look very close to Vista. But we saw some new features, like FTP Location, Key Broad Short Cuts, Screen and Animation Capture, Disk Usage Analyzer, Task Manager, Virtual Drive and Web Site Designer.
I just shift from Window platform to MAC platform after 10 years using Window OS. I already experienced Windows OS from Window 3.11 until Vista.
Today I want to share something about the OS heart, Control Panel or we called it System Preferences in MAC.
Both control panel almost same from feature wide.
MAC emphasize in User Friendly, it come with Dock, Expose & Spaces and Spotlight. All above allow user to control the MAC more effectively.
Window control panel more in setting, especially setup the Firewall and Security Center. It also come with Administrator which we can setup IIS, Services and Data Source.
I found that the Network Setting in MAC are quick easy. It even can detect the network setting automatically.
MAC have the strength in end user experience and Window have the strength in Corporate Workspace.
In MAC, I still not sure how to control the Start Up Items, I try to figure out the way to add and remove Start Up Item but failed. According the Internet resources, We need to go to Library - StartUpItem Folder to delete the file, BUT, i found nothing inside the folder.
