At work we have a new machine with Windows 7 on it. While setting it up for a new employee, it was my first chance to play with Windows 7. My impression is that its pretty much the same Windows as always, with a shiney new graphical interface. If you liked Windows before, its not all that different. In some places (Control Panel), options are gone for setting up new users and the like; but in many other places just below the surface, its all the same as before, such as adding a new printer.
But the desktop REALLY looks like KDE4. From the slanty lines on the taskbar, to the system tray's size and icons, to the way the Windows (Start) button lights up when it gets moused over — people may think that Microsoft took some cues from Apple, but I would have to say they took more from KDE 4.
currently Bilbo doesn't work to upload images to BlogSpot postings, so maybe I'll come back and add some screenshots later. But there are plenty out there, why pollute the web further?)

From the software development point of view, Microsoft is a dead company.
I would be very embarrassed to talk about innovation as MS people do.
KDE rocks, Win7 sucks! XD
Yep, that was my first impression of Windows 7 - it wants to be KDE 4 when it grows up!
Completely agree with that, I have the release candidate installed on my laptop (as well as GNU/Linux, which is the one i use usually) and it really looks like KDE4.
Even though I find KDE4 quite interesting, I don't like to use it, I don't feel comfy, I prefer Gnome or XFCE4. I have nothing against KDE4, it's just a matter of preferences.
Btw, thank you for your post at my blog! Hope you keep visiting :P
Holy CRAP I didn't even notice that, although to be fair I haven't really used KDE since like 3.x or whatever.
Good point though. I will use that next time some Apple fanboy spams me and says 7 "stole the GUI from OSX"
