Windows 7 is the next version of Microsoft Windows for PCs and is the successor to Windows Vista. Hers is a compilation of all the 55 beautiful wallpapers included in the latest build of Windows 7 Beta (Build 7000). Microsoft is expected to unveil Windows 7 Beta to public at CES 2009 in January 09.
I have tweaked the official Windows 7 wallpaper which was seen running on the machines at PDC 2008. The cool-blue wavy wallpaper now carries the official Windows 7 logo.
Among lots of other stuff, one of the main focus of Microsoft with Windows 7 has been to give a facelift to the native Windows applications like Paint, Calculator and WordPad which haven’t been updated since Windows 3.x days.

XP is hailed to have been the perfect OS. I can only imagine, how people would think like this about Vista too after some time.
Most of us have read by now that Microsoft is going to replace some of the most essential applications in Windows by their Windows Live alternatives. I, for one, do not welcome this change at all.
