Interaction evaluation of Windows(R) 7

Windows(R) 7 preview version was released for evaluation. Some new features are added and some minused. However, the apperances looks still the same as Vista(R), transparency, little blur, colorful—looks nothing greatly changed. Although many creative features being added in this new future version, the interaction is still poor as the reasons below:

1) The interface of Windows(R) 7 is still colorfull and attention attractive, admittedly. It is good thing to some aesthetic extend, but not for great effectiveness—as you know, the interface distracts too much attentions from work to system expplore.

2) Too many tiny but smart functions are hidden and hard to find and use, before use it, not like the Windows XP(R) which is easy and simple to use and explore.

3) The icons in Windows(R) 7 is numberous and confusing, not uniform and same stylized.
