                                        Can't see that happening tbh. What Microsoft need to do is strip it right down to its core and start from ground up. However, all Microsoft ever do is attach more bits to it and increase levels of bloat. I think the requirements for Vista are nothing short of rediculous.
                                        An operating system should be small, compact, streamlined and not a resource hog. I still think needing anything over a 500mhz processor and 128megs for an OS is too much. Problem is CPU's increase with power at such a rate and memory goes up constantly that programmers have been lazy and sloppy with their coding for years. Same for games.

                                        By the time Windows 7 is released, the silly systems we needed to run Vista will now be considered low end so it all won't matter anyway. They'll run Windows 7 just fine. So they'll continue being lazy.

                                            Actually IIRC when I was more of a PC geek, all (?) of the current Windows OS are based on the NT kernel which IS streamlined and good with resources. It's only when you pile on all the shit that makes the kernel look good and work with the whole world's hardware that you run into problems. For Win 7 to run on mobile computers, it's not so much optimising the kernel but optimising the rest of the shit. You don't need 4GB of ram to perform I/O stuff, you need it for the candy shit.

                                            And if you look at the PC industry, especially graphics engine development, it's not a case of processing power driving the development of UI and games, it's actually the other way round: Game developers and game requirements pushing the development of graphics engine, requiring more processing power and memory. Consequently because a lot of people are building machines to play their games, the 'standard' of what goes into a 'default' machine goes up, which means Windows can run all that Aeroglass shit.

                                            'Cos you CAN run Windows without any of that eyecandy, but who would want to after seeing the display sets with the works?

                                                        Video: Windows 7 Device Stage on Eee PC S101 running dual-core Atom
                                                        http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/video-windows-7-device-stage-on-eee-pc-s101-running-dual-core-a/
                                                        At WinHEC yesterday, Microsoft also announced early industry support of its Device Stage, advanced peripheral management scheme. So far, the list includes Brother, Epson, HP, Motorola, Nikon, Sansa, Canon, Sony and Nokia. This is more than just plug-and-pray kids, Device Stage is meant to provide users with customized device information and access to things like ring tones, direct management of ink cartridges and photo printing, or links to live customer service chat sessions -- just to name a few of the end user benefits. Microsoft demonstrated the new Windows 7 feature by attaching a Canon SD990 camera to an Eee PC S101 running a 1.6GHz "Atom dual-core chip" (the Atom 330, we presume) to upload a photo over Sierra Wireless' 3G data modem to Flickr, not Windows Live Photo Gallery... oops. See the full video after the break.Update: Microsoft's PR folks just got in touch to let us know that the device demoed was not a dual-core Atom, but actually a single-core chip. Apparently the speaker misspoke when mentioning what kind of processor was being used.
