Vista with a coat of paint, I will never tire of saying that’s what Windows 7 is. NT 6.1 Do you see any “7″s in that? Didn’t think so.

M$ is delighted to see you all getting so excited about their “new” os because their ploy of flushing Vista down the toilet with one hand while drying it off and handing it to you with the other seems to be working.

If you prefer, you can look at it as Vista SP3. Because that’s what it is.

@ Anonymous, nice lecture – but dont you think it would have been nice to come up with a real name. It would be nice to have some 101 course in ethics before lecturing others to have some training in journalism. But than too its funny how much info, one can glean from the ip that gets logged into wordpress once you comment.

Get your info correct. Strata isn’t the codename of the Windows 7. And neither is Linux (bullshit) a threat by a long way to Windows. Also, OS X has a 1% share, which counts for almost nothing, when you count in the number of people who use pirated Windows. Pathetic article.

Well you are right this time focus should be rather on quality and rather not the graphical eye candy as in the case of vista.

HP is now looking to crap windows and install linux on it’s machine as a OEM.

Will MS be able to sustain’s its monopoly.
Only time could tell.

Too many corporate clients are now looking to body-slam Microsoft. If Windows 7 (and they don’t give two hoots about the name) isn’t miles ahead of XP (because Vista will be done grudgingly if at all – many are taking MS to task for forcing the issue on them) their tests now underway with Macs, Linux, etc. will be spun into production.

We are at the tipping point. I’ve spent many days recently with SW vendors scrapping MS-based development for open source stack development, throwing away 90+ person-years of work to get out from under. The corporate clients are getting ready to move, too.

If they’re worried about the name instead of what the value to the buyer is, they’re (in the words of the Mogambo Guru), “all freakin’ doomed”.
