I think Windows 7 will be like Vista if we talk about the looks. Windows XP was, in some way, similar to good old Windows 95. Same goes for Windows 98 and ME. Vista was some new concept and they won't throw it away that easily. I hope my laptop can survive trough Vista. I might buy a new one with 7 on it. It's my favourite number afterall.
512MB for Vista does work. It does not work very well, unless it's Home Basic or Starter. XP was a nice-looking system, but those looks belong back in 1998. I reckon 2000 looked the best.
About that Palm phone, the interface looks very nice, much nicer than the default iPhone and iPod touch one, and looks better than those devices. Which I might now make a theme for my touch just like that. Palm has always been a great brand and always coming up with great ideas. Pity it's not in Australia yet, but when it is...I reckon I'll be getting one.
And the website for it is here: http://www.palm.com/us/products/phones/pre/index.html
Very, very nice looking device. But what exactly is a Web OS? Like it relies a lot on the internet for doing various things, but retains the use of it offline too? People are always trying to find the next 'iPhone killer'. There's nothing such as an iPhone killer, but a rival to the millions of them around the world.
I'm gonna upload my new touch interface a bit later when I've got it right. Right now it looks completely strange but it's almost there.
