Windows 7 News Roundup

It’s Sunday, it’s quiet and I don’t really feel like writing about much.

Time for a link post, here are a couple articles from around the blogosphere:

Gregg Keizer, Computerworld: Windows 7: The Story So Far

Just a summary of everything we know so far about Windows 7. Nothing new here, but worth a read if you wanna catch up on all the Windows 7 news that didn’t make it onto Techmeme.

Long Zheng, istartedsomething: Evolution of the taskbar in Windows 7 - “Superbar”

As usual Long Zheng manages to pick up on some tiny detail the rest of us miss. I very much agree with his point here too:

“Now you would probably be wondering why I just spent so much effort writing about a taskbar, and the answer is because this is what Windows 7 is about. They’re going to take existing interface elements like the taskbar and give them a new coat of paint with some sparkles. Different enough so you notice them, like Walt Mossberg did.”

I began talking about this topic over the last couple weeks and will have another article coming up soon. Check back for it or subscribe to our feed.
