I'm curious if Windows 7 is going to be similar to Vista in terms
dialog box layout, GUI characteristics, etc.
Or is it going to be changed (like how XP differed from Win 98
SE, for example.)
Thanks

No one has that answer, who's to say it won't be changed, when the RTM is
released you'll have your answer.

Google 'windows 7 screenshots' Google is your friend. I have seen the Win 7 screens and it is much like Vista ..the biggest visual change is the totally different taskbar...already folks are bitching about it.

I don't need to Google it, I'm already well aware of it's current state.

I really appreciate the replies. They have been very helpful.
I'm having a hard time transitioning from XP to Vista in part due
to the substantial changes in the GUI for Dialogs, Folders, etc.
I was hoping that Windows 7 would perhaps take a step closer to
Windows XP so that the contrast was not so stark. You know -
address bars on top, Command Bar in IE 7 on the same line as the
tab bar, that "Organize, Views, System Properties, etc." bar
under the address bar in those dialogs / folders, etc.
But according to those screen shots, I'm going to face the same
thing when Windows 7 hits, so I guess I am going to need to learn
to be proficient in the changes.
I like in XP how I can turn off the button bar, address bar, etc.
for any dialog / folder window. I can't seem to find a way to do
that in Vista.
Regardless, thank you again for the helpful replies. I really am
grateful.

"totally different taskbar...already folks are bitching about it"
There will be three options...
From:
http://www.winsupersite.com/win7/win7_beta_notes.asp
Always combine, hide labels. This is the default view style, and it causes
square taskbar buttons with no labels.
Combine when taskbar is full. This is the optimal view style. Taskbar
buttons for running windows will have labels, while buttons for non-running
windows will not. If the taskbar fills up with too many icons, multiple
windows will be combined into a single button.
Never combine. This view style works almost identically to the previous one
except that buttons are never combined.

it will be Vista SP3, but they will revice UAC, add touch screen support,
fix some bugs, call it Windows 7 and charge for it.

I hear ya. Thanks.
It looks like I'm just goig to have to suck it up and try to
learn the functionality of the new interfrace in comparison to
Windows XP.
I've become so dependent on how the dialogs and menus have been
implemented since Windows 95 through Windows XP that Vista is
sort of confusing and frustrating to me.
I open up My Computer. I go to the VIEW menu, selected the
TOOLBARS flyout and can toggle on or off all of the key elements:
Standard Buttons
Address Bar
Links
I can't seem to find a way to do this in Vista, and the order of
items in the Vista dialogs are different and I cannot find a way
to put them back in the order I want them in.
I do not like the Address Bar on top, and I don't like the
changing look and functionality of items in the "button bar"
(that green stripe with things like "Organized, Views, System
Properties", etc.
The address bar at the top serves more than one function - It's
almost like a directory tree but horizontal in that address bar
space instead of an explorer like "Expand / Collapse" tree on the
left side of the dialog.
I really do wish that the interface was more customizable. I
would like to be able to set the order of elements in that
interface, and toggle any of those elements on or off as I wish.
Having these changes in place and then realizing that you lost a
lot of the customizability that you had in XP - well, it gets
kind of annoying.
Anyway, thanks for the reply. I appreciate it.
