As reported earlier Microsoft unveiled the pre-beta of Windows 7 at the PDC 2008 today. Now screen-shots of the Windows 7 user interface got published by Microsoft giving a glimpse on how Microsoft achieves simplicity visually.

Pretty much everything is new. New desktop, new taskbar, new Windows chrome, new gadget support and more. The Windows 7 UI looks visually light and cleaned-up. It could be good if its snappy.

Microsoft says that Windows 7 is designed to make everyday tasks faster and easier, and make new things possible for end users. Windows 7 will streamline and simplify the tasks people do most often. Improved navigation, a new taskbar and a streamlined user interface put commonly used resources within easy reach.

It is still open though when Windows 7 will actually be released.
