Just to confirm; the 'screenshots below are NOT the real Windows 7, Windows 7 still looks like Vista.

No..Wheely, its not...;

On Crunchgear.com one user says;
Wow. I’m usually a sympathizer, but they’re just not getting it.
1.) 7 has to be radically different than Vista with “Quicksilver built in”.
2.) There is no consistency. There’s an OS X dock in one. There’s a translucent thin start bar at the top in another. There’s a fat solid start bar at the bottom in another. This only confuses the home user and adds unnecessary complexity to a consumer product. Sometimes there’s spinning dial stuff, and sometimes there’s not. No identity means unnecessary complexity.
3.) I’m listening to Seth Godin speak in another tab in my browser, and the interesting divide between what he’s saying and what these screenshots are presenting me speaks volumes. It’s not about the technology, it’s about the benefit. Obviously the consumer couldn’t care less about the “new kernel” built on Vista if they’re happy using XP. I mean, when Microsoft marketing talks to actual customers about what’s wrong with their operating system, is “the kernel” really at the top of the problem list?
Also a rather nice concept that can i found on joejoe.org
