Windows 7 out 2010. I wonder if it will be

Winners Of Life: Microsoft Confirms Windows 7 for 2010 (17 screenshots)

Im not sure what to say about them, they look ok but not much different from vista and everything looks big but that is probably just the resolution.

Looks pretty gd but Whoa it only seems like yesterday when XP came out

Seems good, I do hope the part about running older progs remains true, I have some software designed for W95 on my computer still, just because I don't like the way future versions work, the older ones were nice and simple.
I also hope this one isn't a memory hog, but it probably will be, by the time that comes out people will be saying that the minimum for a PC if all you do is use Word, listen to music, and occasionally use the internet will be 4 or 8 gb, I've been watching that go up from 128mb when XP first came out to 256, then 512, and now most people are saying at least 1gb

...and then there's "touch" - wooo

Windows Vista Team Blog : Microsoft demonstrates Multi-touch

will that use dx11?
