The Daily OrangeWindows 7 gives PCs quite the view with release of new operating software
Abstract:
Ah, Vista, so much to say, so little time. Hardware hog, unstable, compatibility issues, everything that could have gone wrong did go wrong. But hey, it looks pretty.

I have heard these same types of comments from friends that are Sr. Programmers! I have XP and it works great, with one exception: the Defragmenter doesn't work very good. I run it and continue to have fragmented files. Does anyone out there know of a cure for this issue?

The problem is still that Vista and 7 do not have any "killer apps" that make them 'better' than XP. Newer does not mean better; frankly, older does. XP has proven itself year after year to be a stable, compatible, fast OS. Vista is none of those things, and while Microsoft's intent with Windows 7 is noble, I'm willing to bet that by the time it gets released, so many of the features we were promissed will have been removed [like Vista].
The only reason companies have begun making the transition to Vista is because Microsoft is forcing them to buy it via their earlier purchase agreements. They are extorting money from consumers and businesses for an inferior product, and I have every reason to believe that will not change with the next version of Windows.

I've always been a diehard Mac fanatic, but after having to take my MacBook Pro to the repair shop zillions of times, I've been very tempted to switch over to PCs. Vista's bugginess has really deterred me from considering a PC so far, but if Windows 7 ends up being this good, I think I'll probably make the switch when I eventually need a new computer.
