"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.
