Look at the Windows fanboys fighting to deny that the Windows 7 interface is STOLEN. Except not from Mac OS X like the Macboys whine about, but kde: Oooh, my turn! I love tearing up Winbloat user’s dreams of Windows 7. Lets go!

Guess what, morons: Microsoft is NEVER innovative. Stop thinkign Windows 7 has anything innovative, it stole most its features from other operating systems, especially Linux.

And you’re STILL under the archaic and limited drive letter system, swap files, and fragment. Microsoft ignored the gaping flaws in Windows and steals from other operating systems so that you deluded fanboys can think they’re actually creating something. Get a damn clue.

The saying is “a pinch of salt,” not “a pinch of salt and pepper.”

And good catch on the fake screenshots.

I didn’t believe it when I saw it.

The GUI is as ugly as sin.

The demo reminds me that Windows 7 will definitely have an improved, more feature filled Paint. It will have scales & a lot more buttons, shapes and other misc options which are too blurry to make out in the screen shots, I blogged about it recently after the conf was over.

@Long: Opps… Almost forgot; Long, when are you going to post your speculation on what the demo means for Windows?

I knew these were fake. This I knew more then that the demo would be a multitouch demo (I knew that as soon as I read on the D6 site that it was to be an interface demo, but that was just my hunch). How did I know that these were all fake?

1. The UI from one screen to the next wasn’t consistant at all. This was the most obvious and the biggest insult to my intelligence. Who do they expect to believe this?
2. Multiple docks. It would be bad enough to copy Apple when you have a UI element that already works, and works better, but to have two of them? How stupid does this site think we are?
3. Old Screens. Some of these I’ve seen before. They were fake then.

There are other methods to tell when screens are faked, but this was the worse faking I’ve seen in a very, very long time.
