You are exactly right. This "radical departure" is just claptrap from MS's PR department. Nothing to do with engineering. The WFBs just lap it up and tell us how great the next Windows version will be.
They also tell us of the greatness of Vista -- except that it has been so much "misunderstood." It won't be until just prior to W7 shipping that MS and the WFBs will start spreading the word that Vista is crap and you should start lining up for W7. W7 will then be the one that is really good. It will have "special sauce." Yes, we see this same cycle every time. Remember when they told us that Win ME was the really, really good one? >If Microsoft puts features in just as they ship, it won't be surprising >that they won't work well. >I don't think that's what they do. >> Windows 7 is a radical departure in the way MS builds it's OS. Instead of >> each feature being worked on and added in at various times and various >> stages of 'beta', these groups aren't allowed to include their code in 7 >> until it is ready to ship. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
