I hope MS does more than just repackage Vista. A little time exploring and addressing the real problems of Vista ( Windows Explorer hangs frequently, windows Mail is chock full of unaddressed problems, the really poorly executed 'network and sharing center'... god, that blows... the ineffective Windows Defender, the high system hardware requirements, the downright oppressive lack of opportunity to easily lower security settings in IE w/o being nagged to death, the omnipresent windows media player that is next to impossible to NOT have running every moment Vista is on, and so on) would be time well spent. I just have this scary feeling that W7 is going to be more about bundling of MS products and marketing and control of the user instead of the user controlling the OS. Hopefully I'm wrong.
