People don't like Windows Vista. Users are moving to Mac or Linux. In order to stop the bleeding, Microsoft is apparently rushing Windows 7 to market. But is this really the Windows 7 they set out to create? Or is is just Windows Vista with window dressing. Wait, Windows Vista labeled as the "next version of Windows"? Isn't that called "MOJAVE"?

Ahh... a rush to Windows 7. A credit to how much people really love Vista (even though they aren't aware of it, as Microsoft's experiment proved).
Before you spend another $200+ on the next Windows OS, give Linux a try for free. (For newbies, I'd recommend either Mandriva Linux or Ubuntu Linux.)
I don't understand why Microsoft just can't get it. I mean... don't those people read? The community voices their opionions like they've never have before.
Why can't Microsoft learn from Open Source software. 300 million for adverticing could have bought great ideas from the community of programmers like google is doing with Android.
Microsoft doesn't need advertising. Just make my OS work smarter and all the blogers and PC writters will advertise for you.
I like Vista but I hate the Control Panel. It is awful. It was pretty good under XP. Mac has it the best, but Vista made it so convoluted. I still can't figure how to wake my computer up from sleep mode without hitting the off/on button. Under XP I only had to tap the keyboard or move the mouse, but Vista did away with that. Why? Microsoft please fix that!
