The ribbon interface will be used in all apps, including the shell.

Here is the first screenshot of Windows 7 showing major change.

It'll still use bitmap, which is inferior to vectoring. Fail.

No, I meant that Paint will still use bitmap as it's drawing source, which creates all the lovely MSPaint jagged lines since bitmap is on a per-pixel basis whereas vector determines shape.

Yeah but if they really improved paint, or even shipped with paint.net they'd get sued by adobe.

I like it. About time they stopped pissing around with 15 year-old interfaces and designed something new.

Sticky... there's a time and a place for pretty much any image format. For example, you wouldn't store photos as a vector image, and you wouldn't store an ordnance survey map as a bitmap.
