It's nice to dream of making a wish list--and then see it fulfilled. Let's do it!

In general, I hope the next version of Windows will be more secure. I hope it will not require 17 gigs of RAM. I hope they will focus more on function rather than sleek looks. I think it looks fine. It looks great, even! Just make it be safe and make it work smoothly and (of course) quickly.

One particular wish I have is for a Windows Explorer with tabs. I use Explorer a lot, and it would be great to have tabbed browsing available rather than opening multiple windows.

I'll keep wishing--and see what else I come up with. Oh, and yeah! We don't want to wait tooo long.

There's a very interesting story written by Long Zheng that includes some screenshots of Windows 7. The information was originally found at a Russian blog (translated by Google), whose writer, Reicker, is still coming up with bits and pieces of new knowledge about the OS.

One screenshot shows something that looks to be very promising: a "Wipe and Reload" menu that offers the options of reloading from your latest backup or reloading from factory default. It seems you're able to do the whole thing from that window, without digging out CDs and license numbers. Plus--it claims that it's reversible, in case you decide you want your PC back the way it was. Why didn't we think of this before!

Nobody knows--or at least nobody's telling--how this information got leaked, but it makes for some intriguing reading.
