For those with an urge to have a peek at the Windows Vista replacement, here’s a link to some screenshots.  They however look a lot like Vista so its hard to say what differences there will be in the end, also this is a very early alpha build of Windows 7 and they have a tendency to change quite a lot.  But still, rumors have it that Bill Gates have mentioned 2009 as the possible release year for Windows 7. http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/win7_6519.asp
