On the other hand, if W7 is working as well as you say, it strengthens the
suspicion that W7 is
just Vista warmed over.
Um, even MS has said that Win7 isn't anything but a vastly improved
Vista. That's kinda, sorta, ya know, why it looks like it.
We still patch, patch, patch.

The best we can hope for is that MS is lying.
If this is the way MS intends to build its operating systems then W7 will
be even crappier and more dangerous than their previous atrocities. This
idea is even a bigger mistake than their
everything-is-connected-to-everything stupidity that makes
So they are terrible for having everything tied together and horrible for
having everything component-ized? Spoken like a true glitterati. You seem
to be alone in your view since almost every review of W7 shows it was
extremely well received. Course they've actually used W7 so they aren't
Chris I am intrigued that you are running it.
How does it compare to XP?
I am one of those who did not upgrade to Vista but am still running
XP on all my machines except my sons laptop which came with Vista.

This is just flat-out wrong, as is most of the rest of your message, which
appears to be remarkably ill-informed. As if everyone didn't already know
that Vista is more secure than XP, I received an InfoWorld article just this
morning with the

The FULL title of the story is Microsoft Data shows Vista more secure
than XP.
The article is completely unclear about what data supports MS's
assertion. Numbers are cited, but nothing about how the data was
collected. Only the most besotted WFB would find

I don't think that's what they do.
Right, I think that's Mike's point--that is NOT what they're doing. MS insists
that Win7 is already feature-complete, and that the rest of the time will be

If W7 is now feature complete and MS has not yet figured out why Vista
is so crappy then why are they also telling us that W7 is not Vista
warmed over?
They are either not keeping their lies straight or they completely tossed
Vista and are building W7 on top of XP. Which is it?
Right, I
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.
I do question if the testing they will get in
house will be as effective as a large number
of outside testers. There will be beta tests
of components but not of the really half done
things that have been released to bets before.
But nothing is half done. The stuff that wasn't delivered
Except Vista isn't crappy. I've been running 64bit SP 1 since it was
