Gates and Ballmer to show a little Windows 7 skin at D6

Vista has been a source of incompatibilities and displeasure among users, and Microsoft wants to avoid that kind of problem.

Sinofsky described the Windows 7 kernel evolution as follows in the interview:

We're very clear that drivers and software that work on Windows Vista are going to work really well on Windows 7; in fact, they'll work the same. We're going to not introduce additional compatibilities, particularly in the driver model. Windows Vista was about improving those things. We are going to build on the success and the strength of the Windows Server 2008 kernel, and that has all of this work that you've been talking about. The key there is that the kernel in Windows Server '08 is an evolution of the kernel in Windows Vista, and then Windows 7 will be a further evolution of that kernel as well.

CrunchGear has published some screen shots of what appears to be an embryonic Windows 7. A Microsoft spokesperson has said that the screens are either very old versions of the new operating system or fake.
