Most AeroTaskforce issues still apply to Windows 7 taskforce

Submitted by migueld on January 15, 2009 to Website suggestion

Most of the AeroTaskforce issues apply to Windows 7 taskforce. Windows 7 uses the same Vista codebase, same drivers, same Aero layer, etc etc. It's not a complete rewrite of Windows. It's more of a Vista 2.0.

By having a separate Windows 7 taskforce, most of the aero taskforce issues may be neglected, forgotten or buried. It'd be nice if there was continuity of the aero issues that people submitted. Most of these issues won't be fixed in Vista, but they might be fixed in Windows 7 or subsequent versions of Windows.

Suppose that the two taskforces are merged. Then the aero issues that get fixed in Windows 7 can be marked as "fixed".

The OSX taskforce remains as 1 page, regardless of the different versions 10.4 10.5 10.6.

Provide some sort of continuity between aero taskforce and windows 7. Some possible options: merge the two, or duplicate the aero issues into the windows 7 taskforce. Another option: allow issues to be marked as "Windows" "Vista-only" "Windows-7-only"
