Rally Pat Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Microsoft seemed to figure out that most of it's customers are going to skip Vista, and finally set a release date for Windows 7 after however long we have been hearing about it. This article was sent out to everyone at work. http://www.infoworld.com/archives/emailPrint.jsp?R=printThis&A=/article/08/06/24/Microsoft_VP_confirms_Windows_7_ship_date_January_2010_1.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Ehhh, I like Vista. Usually the people that hate it either were early adopters with driver issues, or idiots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FourString Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 I like Vista too. I just bought an HP laptop at Best Buy a week ago. It's my first Vista system and no complaints yet. I just wish I had enough to afford a Mac... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rally Pat Posted June 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 windows 7 will not be a new OS, it will be a revised vista release. You could not be further from right. It only looks like Vista on the outside. Read up about how it works, very Unix like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lustalbert Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 "You have told us you want a more regular, predictable Windows release schedule" No, I want a fucking OS that dosent need security patches on a nightly basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimmer95 Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 I don't mind frequent security patches, it shows that they're actually working to fix problems as they pop up which is bound to be quite often when you're the most used PC OS. The fact that the system has to reboot to install them is a PITA though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco-REX Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 I'm really surprised Microsoft is doing this. People whined and cried when XP came out. "XP is crap, I'm sticking with 98." "98SE is much better for games than XP, I don't see a reason to switch." "What's so good about XP? My 98SE box does everything I want it to." And MS pushed forward, and now those people are clinging to XP. It's going to be the same every time. So why bring OS releases closer together and let the bitching and crying just continue?
