As we struggle through Vista with its high resource demand, high hardware requirements, and high price, it is hard to believe that Windows 7 will be with us in about 3 years. Since Microsoft hasn’t mentioned what they have planned for us, this is a great time to think about some of the things I would like to see. I know. I’m only dreaming. But maybe, just maybe, some of the things I would like to see in Windows 7 may just come true.

A Lean Mean Machine: How about an operating system that is built from the ground up. Not layers and layers of old code that drag systems down. Something that works on a minimal amount of resources and fits on a CD not a DVD. Built for those of us who use our systems for simple surfing, email, and some light software apps. No fancy graphics, no fancy bells and whistles, just a good, fast operating system. Microsoft can still build the mega Vista stuff for those that need it. Just have a lite weight version also.

Pricing: The new lite weight version for say $89.95. Less would be nice.
Boot Time: How about under 15 seconds? Microsoft original had plans for a fast booting system. What happened to that?

Security: How about real security and spyware protections. Not just a screen that pops up asking if we are sure or not.

One Button Fix: Problem with your system? Just hit ONE button and it fixes itself.

No Promises: Hopefully Microsoft will not over promise features to us that never happen.

So what would you like to see in Windows 7?

Comments welcome.
