Windows 7 Vs. Linux: Let's Get Real
,----[ Quote ]
| Although Serdar doesn't spell it out here, I think his comparison of Linux
| and Windows 7 offers an important subtext. While it is clear that a lot of
| Microsoft's work on WIndows 7 was a direct response to its difficulties with
| Windows Vista, it's not a stretch to see that some improvements would not
| have happened if Linux didn't represent a legitimate competitive threat. (One
| word: netbooks.)

| None of this would have come about without the regressive behavior of Windows
| 7, the interface’s thinly veiled rewrap of the Windows 3.1 look and feel,
| and the lack of real innovation. No, putting the system on a diet does not
| qualify as innovation.
|
| As I have shown before, touch is not a new item on the list of things an
| operating system can enable either, so Microsoft should stop its harping on
| that, too.

| Amazingly, the Windows Supersite of Paul Thurrott is showing some falling out

Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Windows 7 Edition
,----[ Quote ]
| Windows 7, the much-hyped upcoming version of Windows operating system is now
| in Beta. And though it’s kind of promising based on reading some of the
| positive reviews, one thing is for sure; it will never become the 'awesomest'
| operating system that everyone will love.

Windows 7 Unmasked
,----[ Quote ]
| But after the stage props came down, and after the projectors finally went
| cold, attendees were left with a pre-beta copy of something that looked less
| like a new OS than the repackaging of an old one. At least that was my
| impression after I started exploring the Windows 7 M3 (Milestone 3) bits that
| came on my shiny new 160GB Western Digital USB hard disk (one of the better
| tchotchkes I've received at a conference). As I reported on my Enterprise
| Desktop blog, the more I dug into Windows 7, the more I saw an OS that looked
| and felt like a slightly tweaked version of Windows Vista.

|
| Just what was so new about Microsoft's next Windows, apart from a rejuggled
| UI? Windows 7 appeared to suck memory like Vista, to consume CPU like Vista,
| and to have the same consumer focus. How would this product be received by
| enterprise customers, the vast majority of whom had soundly rejected its
| predecessor? After all, if Vista wasn't good enough for big business, then
| surely a Vista-derived encore would meet with a similarly chilly reception.
|
| [...]
|
| Otherwise, Windows 7 operates much like Vista. There are subtle visual tweaks
| here and there, but nothing on the level of the dramatic XP-to-Vista
| transition. Ironically, Vista users may be more annoyed by the UI changes
| than users coming from XP. Because the Windows 7 and Vista Aero experiences
| are so similar, seasoned users of Vista will be more likely to look in the
| wrong places for common functions. By contrast, XP users won't be burdened
| with now-outdated Aero navigation skills.
