If that is indeed the new Boot Screen, then its very bad news. That is possibly the ugliest boot screen I have ever laid eyes on, and if MS doesn't care enough to design a great looking boot screen (which, may I remind you is the first MS branded thing you see when you switch on your PC) then its a pretty clear indication of just how much work they put into Windows Seven itself.

Of course, since this is just an early beta build, it will most probably improve over time.

VG, just went through the article on your site (great work, as always btw) and noticed the Libraries thing in the sidebar in the explorer window. So is this finally the virtual folders thing that was supposed to be present in Vista?

One more thing, the actual boot screen does not look all that bad actually.... Sorry VG, but this boot screen, definitely not one of your best works.

Also, it kind of scares me as to how similar 7 is to Vista. But if they can give me an OS that's been nicely streamlined and not as much of a resource hog as Vista, yet has all the features of Vista, I'm hooked.

Or the more likely alternative, i.e. 7 will be another Vista and I'll have to buy a Mac out of desperation.
