Quoting Tom Piwowar <[email protected]>:
A clear-eyed review from AppleInsider. Right. You can practically smell the
objectivity in this sentence: "Microsoft has to herd more PC users into the
latest version of Windows ... so it can actively leverage its monopoly
position to prevent competition...." Sentences like that are the hallmark of
an unbiased, clear-eyed review.
I did not write "fawning" review. I did not write "paid for" review.
This is good reading for WFBs because it demonstrates what a
knowledgeable, even-handed review looks like. Of course they will
scribble all over it trying to turn a sow's ear into a purse.
Okay, Tom, it's time to take off the Apple-colored glasses. . .
"and finally to distance itself from in the "I'm not a Mac, just a
generic PC" ads."
Post a link to the ad that people are saying they're "just a generic PC".
"Before Microsoft had released any real details on the new operating
system, some fan sites initially described Windows 7 as being
'completely rewritten from the ground up,'"
So people got a little ahead of themselves. Can't blame MS for that.
"The Taskbar handles half of the features of the Mac OS X Dock;
actually launching an app or document still requires navigating the
Start Menu."
How about Desktop icons. How about Quicklaunch icons (which are
actually pictured *right above this statement*. How about keyboard
shortcuts (something I still haven't figured out in OSX).
Have you even used Win7? I have, and there are things about it that I
don't like. One being the need for an admin password to delete
shortcut icons from the Desktop. What's up with that?!
It won't wake up from screensaver, which I think I can blame on the
(Vista) WiFi driver I used. It was okay before that, and I haven't
tried turning it off to see.
