Windows 7 learning experience

This is from Microsoft vows Windows 7 will fix Vista mistakes:

Microsoft also will tweak the User Account Control feature (UAC), which was new in Vista, so it will be less of an inconvenience and work more efficiently for users, Sinofsky said.

Omigod.

Yes, indeedy, I knew they'd back off on security in favor of ease of use. They always do and always will.

Sales pitches for Windows 7:

"Dump that annoying Vista security and upgrade to Seven!"
"You've always trusted us, right? Seven is NEAT-O!"
"Buy Seven now and see what OS X was doing three years ago."
"I'm a PC and I'm easy."
"The bloated hardware you bought to run Vista will work GREAT with Seven!"

It oughtta be wonderful..

I especially enjoy the Mac TV commercial where PC is allocating funds to advertising and to fixing Vista. Now we know exactly where that money is being used. :-)

Too funny:

Mr Curran said that the Microsoft Windows team had been poring over every aspect of the operating system to make improvements.

"We were able to shave 400 milliseconds off the shutdown time by slightly trimming the WAV file shutdown music.

"It's indicative of really the level and detail and scrutiny on Windows 7."

That's from http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/8026736.stm (thanks to http://twitter.com/fcw )

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
