I havent tried it either, im just not game enough

I'm reading old xkcd comics right now.

oh yea i forgot windows 7 is coming out.

is the user interface any good, that was the only thing good about vista, everything else ssucked, to be honest, i would rather a rubbish UI, and it actually being able to do stuff.

Windows 7 is going to show us the route of Microsoft. If it flops, they are going to pull an IBM and fall from the top, and fall hard. Take your money out of MS stocks if you have it.

They have to pull an incredible release out of their ass. Apple is growing in popularity incredibly fast and OSX is solid as a rock and has a huge selection of software for it. IBM, Dell, and HP are all selling computers with Ubuntu pre-installed and a little advertising is all that is needed to start a huge Linux push as well.

If Windows 7 flops, I can see OSX being the dominate operating system and Linux having a 10% share by 2015.

In a way I want Windows 7 to do well, because I'm one of the lazy consumers that once I learn how to do something I don't care to change over.

It's not that I'm a MSoft fanboy, I just don't care enough to make the effort(of which there really is none) to switch my OS creator since I first started using Win98.

But I also want them to do poorly, which will force them to be twice as good as XP in order to get back in the game next time around.

if 7 tanks there probably won't be a next time
