It looks just like Vista!!!  :roflmao:

Which if I was Microsoft, I'd think twice about.  They really should be aiming to distance Windows 7 from Vista as much as possible.  A new theme, even if it is only superficially tweaked and the removing of that {bleep}ing awful green-blue aurora crap would do it.

2000 "looked just like" Win95/98 and NT 3.51/4.0 - it fared just fine.

just downloaded the beta and some sort of "helper" application to extend its usage.  Lets see how it runs under VirtualBox.

I ran it under vmware last night, it went swimmingly.  Note that this is on an AMD Athlon64 with a gig of RAM, so halve that for the VM and you've got an idea of what kind of system it was on (I also only allocated 16gb of virtual drive space).  I say "I ran" and "went" because I tried to hack the .VMX file to force 3d support.  VM fall down go BOOM! :-D That's a vmware problem and not a Win7 problem; I'll rebuild the vm tonite and not try to turn on 3d this time. :-)
