Why is Windows 7 so good?

Windows 7 isn't like Hitler. Hitler had a plan. Lol.

never saw Godwin's Law show up so early in a thread.

Everyone thinks that Windows 7 is so much better than Vista. But isn't that because right now it's a beta and it's little more than a hollow shell of an OS? Wait until M$ piles on their usual 4 gigs of crap and we'll see how good it is.

Windows XP releast 25 October 2001
Windows Vista November 8, 2006
Windows 7 sometime this year (or that is what it looks like at the moment)
Windows Vista flopped And what is is sayed on differenc sides, then Windows 7 is what Vista should have been
.
OSX 10.0 releast March 24, 2001
OSX 10.6 looks like sometime this year.
.
So Windows has gone up 1 (usefull) version in the time that OSX has gone up 6 versions.
.
They are working fast at Microsoft

I'm a Mac fanboy.

We Mac fans must remember that Windows 7, and its successors, never have to be better than OSX.

All Windows has to do is to be ok so that boring people can get along with doing their daily boring work.

Vista was not ok.

If Windows 7 is merely ok, Apple will have lost its once-in-a-generation chance to break free of its niche status.

If Windows 7 is merely ok, and Snow Leopard is fantastic, most Windows users will stick with Windows.

For a Windows user to transition, the version of Windows has to be absolute crap, which Vista is.

I transitioned to Mac after using Windows for a decade. I switched to Mac because Vista is crap.

However, Apple is crapping equally as much these days -- removing matte screens from iMac's and MBP's, giving the 17" MBP a fixed battery. If Apple gives fixed batteries to the 15" MB and MBP, I don't know if I can take such crap, especially that Microsoft might have improved sufficiently to lure back those who value their eyesight, and need to work with the notebooks longer than 6 hours without access to a power point. (Remember, after a year, the shiny new 17" MBP isn't going to giving manufacturer spec battery life).

With Apple's meagre advance to 10% marketshare, it is starting to act arrogant, making design choices that appeal to design and not to those of us who use computers for function. I want function+beauty, not just beauty.

Man I installed Windows 7 in VMware and I was looking at it, and said, okay. Its just Vista with many stolen features of the Mac OS X Leopard. But all these features are just made without an idea, how to seamlessly insert it in the Windows system. So Windows 7 is underwhelming and pathetic as Vista was, but its indeed faster…

If you believe that Windows has progressed, remaining constant in progression I ask how?

Windows 98 was remarkable compared to the original Windows and Windows 95. Then XP took the stage, which was quite remarkable. But remember "why" it was released so quickly, because Windows ME, was garbage.

Developing an OS that actually doesn't work very well with hardware, causing an array of issues. So XP was to "fix" and smooth out the roughness from the older versions making it more ascetic and appealing. Which it did, it did very well actually. But, still did what Windows does best, frequently has software issues, frequently corrupts data, frequently needs to repair or format the disk, and frequently has several security flaws.

Now, at that same exact time Apple switched from the OS 9 Platform to the OS X Platform. The Unix based version, rather then Rosetta (PPC).

But, if you look closely you can see where Vista failed. For instance, the abandoned DOS. Attempting to mimic several OS X related ascetics to compete and innovate there Operating System. That however is something Microsoft hasn't done yet, thus causing an array of problems. Remember the "Hype" about "Surface". Where is "Surface?" That thousand dollar table-top computer?

Microsoft has lost its innovation, you can see it through the Operating System- through the Xbox 360- and so fourth.

Apple since there rebirth and revival from the iPod, they have been on a streak of advancements. But what hit has kept the innovation, is iPhone, OS X 10.5, iPod, Macbook Aluminum, and even the Macbook Pro 17" is still a part of that. The battery is built in correct, but can be replaced by sending it into Apple or a Apple Service Provider. Even the removable batteries have a suggestion: "Please bring in to an Apple Service Battery Provider before replacing the battery."

Also with 10.6 coming out, it doesn't have nearly as many features as 10.5 with it, but the ones it does have are remarkable. I mean the OpenCL capability of allowing the GPU's processor to also process power will speed up there OS even faster. If "the ability" to remove a battery lacks "innovation" that's doubtful. If you look at the performance and specs of the battery.

Either way it can't be denied, Apple has a list of flowing projects that are innovative and remarkable, which have set them above the rest. Bringing them into the lime-light of one of today's most innovative companies.
