Will Windows 7 be visually similar to Vista?

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

See inline.

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

Wait until the public Beta comes out then you judge it yourself

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

Met vriendelijke groet,
Mark Veldhuis.

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.
