Hello and welcome to the EightForums! In all honesty, you'd likely have a greater chance of receiving a solution to your problem by posting this over at SevenForums.com which is a sister site to this one. Hope this helps!

Small talk is better then absolute silence. :) A leak would help this forum a bit, don't see that happening soon.

Everyones slowly migrating over here. Its good to see familiar faces here. :)

That would be John's (z3r010) handy work. :p

Office 2007 is also, what? 3 years old? (lol) Office 2010 will have a 64-bit version.

Its NT6.1 to make it more compatible with Vista applications. Windows 6.1 would've been wierd. Besides its the product that matters, not the name. :)

Sergio you should read this. ;) Why 7? - Windows Vista Team Blog - The Windows Blog

Yeah its pretty bad. Its Microsoft's product, they should have a right to include any of their programs in it without consequence.

I wasn't saying they 'should' change the name. I was saying that it wouldn't fit in, in the Live Suite unless it was something like Live Security Essentials.

MicroSoft Security Essentials Live is a bit long. How about Live Security Essentials.

Nice thought there but wouldn't it have to be a Live product? Would be rather odd to have all Live products in the suite and then MSE, which would stick out a lot.

I think during the setup/installation phase of Windows they should allow you to install/not install Windows programs (such as IE, MSE, WLMessenger, WLMail, etc).

I doubt it. The EU will probably complain about it to much. Do not think Microsoft wants to go through that again.

I can understand people not wanting change because 'everything works fine the way it is now' but we need to keep moving to better things. Keeping support for such outdated hardware isn't helping. As for programs, well, the developers should be fixing any problems with the most current...

That was also 3 years ago. ;) Although no I do not remember it. Lol Maybe not decades, but who knows? Obviously the move to 64-bit is speeding up since OEM's are preinstalling 64-bit on almost every machine capable of running 64-bit. Microsoft (in my opinion) needs to just push it. If people...

It'll take decades if they 'wait' for everyone to be ready. A push is needed. Besides, if they made Windows 8 64-bit only, that means they can focus more on ONE architecture with fixing bugs.

While I agree, its the fact that we are catering to older machines, 32-bit architectures, etc. That progress with 64-bit applications and I'm betting even some progress on Windows itself is being hindered. I say go 64-bit only. If people really NEED Windows 8, fine, just make sure you have a...

Windows 7 is getting dull now that I've had it so long. Need something new and different! Although you can't expect much to be different in a pre-alpha/alpha. :|

Kind of.. bleh. Not something you'd ever see my desktop look like. The fact that you think the more stuff on a desktop the more professional it looks, is rather false. If anything most common PC users clutter their desktop while the more professional/tech savvy users keep their desktop clean. ;)

We'll Neowin is its own source as well, no need for multiple threads though if information is the same. (I'm not saying it is as I haven't looked). http://www.neowin.net/news/main/09/11/21/windows-8-is-coming-in-2012
