They are just afraid that Windows 7 is going to clean their clocks. From the positive reviews it has received from beta testers Windows 7 sounds like a solid platform that corrects the mistakes made by V—— (blech).
::::::::::
And it is true. I have been testing Win7 for some time and it is already very solid and fast and will certainly replace the horrid travesty MS called Vista. They were also smart with Win7 in that it loads nicely on Intel Macs and gets around the differences between PCs and Macs (non-tech explanation).

I presently have an iMac running OSX, Win7 and Ubuntu Linux -— ALL NATIVELY. Nice. Apple is worried about Win7.

Pure hype.

Win7 is using nearly the same exact kernel as Vista.

It’s basically Vista with more refinements and polish.

Why would that bother Apple -- they're in the business of selling hardware; the OS is a "systems" packaging feature to sell physical machines.

If you're buying an iMac, then Apple's happy, regardless of what you run on it.

Will Windows 7 run legacy software?
