Which is why 7 is so very important to MS. And so far the word from most people,MAC users included, is that it performance exceeds there expectations. This OS spells trouble for Apple in that it dispells the Vista perception and will be hard to downplay even though it may or may not be a better OS overall than OS X, for MS it just has to be better than XP and Vista which it is by a mile.
I hope it is. I like Windows 7 pretty well myself. :)
Linus beats it by Miles for Web surfing....and neither Windows or Mac has Compiz....which is an absolute requirement for serious browsing....especially cut and pasting activities like I do for Free Republic and other places. I have a slow,..new portable for turbotax...runs Vista which is fine...just do very little on the internet...way too slow!
