If you were to actually check the validity of the screen shots before posting this story then you would find out that all of the screen shots are "mock ups" that people have posted mostly from Deviantart.com . (It helps that I have a DA account) Fact check? Thats only for the readers. #35 Agree.

These are fake screen shots. This post needs to be taken down. Walt mentioned something about a Mac-esque dock in the win7 interview and it seems to have riled people up so much that someone scoured Deviantart looking for any renderings sporting such a design and proclaimed them to be the new win7 UI.

Mac OSX first used it in a very subtle way that was almost imperceptible as opacity itself but that somehow made things blend together. Vista took opacity to a new level with all chrome having the glass block see-through look. I remember all of the buzz about having to change your hardware to get the new cool "aero" look and when I finally saw it I thought to myself - this is what the fuss was all about? Anyways as has been pointed out already it will take a lot more than "window dressing" to put this ship right. The use of opacity by Microsoft is bit too much “in your face” for my tastes.
