Well I guess I'm going to stick with XP for a while until I can afford Linux and make the OS switch there. Getting tired of MS trying to be an improvement upon themselves and fu-baring everything it touches.
Apparently Gates is so rich now that he doesn't care about maintaining quality that people will speak highly about. It's like his attitude is "hey, it works don't it?"
When he's not approving the release of such tripe he's releasing mosquitoes among unsuspecting audiences to make a point about malaria.
Bill, get out of the computer business and go have fun with your billions alright? Let someone who really gives a damn take over for a while.
Is anyone going to make the switch from XP/Vista to this 7th version or?? Gonna play it safe?
Windows 7 version lineup revealed: Prepare for disappointment
http://tech.yahoo.com/blogs/null/118401
Remember when Vista was announced, and Microsoft decided to release six different versions of the operating system, much to the confusion, disappointment, and ridicule of potential buyers? Well guess what? Microsoft is back with the Windows 7 strategy. What has it learned in the last three years? Pretty much nothing.
While Microsoft is touting the "two primary editions" of Windows 7 -- a Home Premium edition and a Professional (intended for business) edition -- the fact is it's sticking with the same six different versions (or SKUs, stock-keeping units) that it had for Vista.
The real difference is that Windows 7 Home Basic -- the much-reviled stripped-down version of Vista that was designed for bare-bones PCs -- is now being shunted to emerging markets only, though it will still exist. But to confuse matters, a Windows 7 Starter edition, which will run only three applications simultaneously, will also be available.
Also a glimmer of hope: Home Premium will have most of the same features you're used to in Vista Home Premium, but the new Windows 7 Professional is a nice improvement over Vista Business Edition in that Windows 7 Pro will include all of the features from Home Premium (including Media Center and gaming capabilities), plus some other business-centric extras. If there's a bright spot in this news, it's that the Pro version finally looks enticing, unlike the neutered business version of Vista that was pawned off on workplaces two years ago.
