WINDOWS 7 THREAD (ongoing)
Deozaan:
That calculator is terrible! It doesn't even follow the standard numpad layout! :sick:
zridling:
Honestly, is there a need to conserve screenspace for a calculator? Give me everything at a glance.
MrCrispy:
We'll know a LOT more in a week when PDC starts.
f0dder:
A ribbon for calc? Holy Hoffmann!
I hope that's a joke. Otherwise somebody needs to be dragged outside and shot.
Edvard:
I just ran across this article. It's rather vague, but apparently Microsoft is even looking beyond Win7 to dropping the monolithic OS model.

Microsoft has kicked off a research project to create software that will take over when it retires Windows.
Called Midori, the cut-down operating system is radically different to Microsoft's older programs.
It is centred on the internet and does away with the dependencies that tie Windows to a single PC.
It is seen as Microsoft's answer to rivals' use of "virtualisation" as a way to solve many of the problems of modern-day computing.
...
When asked about Midori by BBC News, Microsoft issued a statement that said: "Midori is one of many incubation projects underway at Microsoft. It's simply a matter of being too early in the incubation to talk about it."
