Whereas the other day Long Zheng started a thread on various UI kinks in Windows that he’d like to see Microsoft iron out, James Kendrick is entering the mix by making some suggestions for improving mobility features in Windows 7.
Although I’d like to see the issues they bring up addressed, I’ll restate that I bet we’re getting late in the game for making such Windows 7 requests. Even though a beta hasn’t hit the streets yet, I don’t think there’s going to be a lot of time for integrating in these types of community feedback–unless Microsoft developers are already covering them. Windows is too big and the current ship date (late 2009 or early 2010), doesn’t leave much time.
At this point we don’t know what’s going on, so I’m of the mind to wait and see what Microsoft comes up with rather than getting ahead of them. I may be persuaded otherwise though.
