When will SP2 be available for Windows 7? I consider any version of Windows, prior to SP2, to be Beta.

<...an enterprise customer that purchases a PC with Windows 7 pre-installed is allowed to downgrade to Vista should they desire,

WTF?

I just built all new computers for home and finally upgraded from Win2000 Pro to Win XP Pro 64 Bit.

I love the 64 Bit XP and will probably not move to version 7 unless they prove it is not a crawling POS and their DRM is not from the age of Stalin.

How long does Microsoft plan to keep selling copies of its Windows Vista operating system after the upcoming launch of Windows 7?

That's not a big mystery really. Insiders admit Windows 7 is just Vista SP3 rebadged.

I hope they put the steering wheel on the left this time and remove the ignition switch from the glove box. It’s tough learning how to drive again every few years.

Win7 is what VISTA should have been....(MEworse)?

I haven't had any problems with my VISTA machine, but Win7 is awesome, and will have a Virtual PC addition for XP applications.

THAT, is one reason to go for it.

Hell, after Win 7 comes out, M-soft will claim that Visduh was put out by a bunch of pirates in Somalia, illegally using the Microsoft name, and that they are sending their geekiest lawyers to bring said criminals to justice.

Vista is to computing what the interest only mortgage loan is to home ownership.

Microsoft by design makes the software that exhausts the hardware as boldly as they dare, which ensures near future sales of hardware, therefore every hardware producer favors Microsoft.

There is only one conclusion, Microsoft obviously needs tarp money and the government needs to prop up their monopoly. As this would least serve the taxpayer and consumer -it is the one obvious choice! You’ll get a $50 tax deduction off you next PC.

Don’t buck the tend.
