I just saw this “screen capture” on PCMag’s coverage of the new Windows 7. Yuck! If this is really what the desktop of Windows 7 is going to look like we are all taking a step backward. I am all for a clean desktop, but not one that removed the mouse. Notice it says “use direction keys to navigate.” What happened to the mouse? This looks a lot like Windows Media Center. The reason Media Center works well with the directional keys is because it is closely related to the directional buttons on a remote control. I can tell you from personal experience that Media Center is less than mouse friendly. Will Windows 7 be less mouse friendly? Hmm.
