Window 7 - Vista Only Worse















Just when you think that Microsoft might be able to build an operating system that doesn't cause devastation all around it, they unveiled Windows 7 at PDC last month. Microsoft has 1000 full time developers working on Windows 7. So how is it going? Well according to Randal Kennedy at Infoworld, it performs exactly like Vista but breaks all sorts of things that used to work fine under Vista. He went on to point out that "IT organizations rejected Windows Vista en masse, and Windows 7 is Microsoft’s response. Simply put, it’s not enough. Slapping an upgraded UI onto an already discredited OS platform fools nobody and serves only to further alienate the very enterprise customers whom Microsoft claims to be wooing."

Does this sound like lipstick on a pig?
