Windows 7 box art, packaging gets official(er)
As you can see, the packaging is pretty simple and actually looks a lot like the Windows Vista packaging. But while the cover art may not have received a major redesign, the overall packaging has. The amount of packaging weighs 37% less than previous Windows packages, and the plastic case is recyclable. There's less inside the box as well. All you get is the case, a paper sleeve, and a brief "getting started" guide.
You can find a picture of an opened box after the break.


So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.

Why are they calling it "Windows 7"? Shouldn't it just be "Windows Band-Aid"? "That last one we programmed was crap...here, try this one (fingers crossed)!
