Microsoft's 'Reliability Update' Is Not So Reliable
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) released several non-
| security updates for Windows 7 and its server
| counterpart, Windows Server 2008 Release 2 (R2)
| two weeks ago.
|
| The main purpose of four of those patches was to
| improve stability and reliability of the two
| operating systems. Unfortunately for an
| undetermined number of users, one of those
| updates broke their systems rather than make them
| more stable.

Linux vs Windows 7
,----[ Quote ]
| And this is where Linux can make a big difference. There's nothing in Windows
| 7 that Linux can't do, and in most cases, do it better. Our machines are
| quicker and more efficient. Our desktops are more innovative and less static.
| Our apps are more powerful, cheaper and less partisan, and Linux security has
| never been better. But best of all, we have complete control over the future
| of Linux, and it's success or failure at the hands of Windows 7 is in our
| hands.

Seven things Windows 7 can learn from Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| 1. More frequent release cycles. As Iâve already explained, Microsoftâs worst
| enemy has been its very long release cycles. Linux distributors, on the other
| hand, have the opposite problem â too frequent release cycles. But what would
| a consumer be more interested in, an operating system thatâs eight years old
| (Windows XP) or one thatâs updated every year or even six months? Fresh
| product releases means fresh marketing and Microsoft knows this. From Windows
| 7 on itâs bye, bye many-year release cycles and hello two year cycles at the
| most.
