> windows ping! :)

Heh, cool! There's a Windows Ping list now? Be still my beating heart!

Personally, it looks like I'm going to be running Windows 7 for the next decade. I can't see any reason whatsoever to switch to Win8 and waste weeks of time I don't have spare to waste. Where I work, we have had early copies of Win8 for the better part of a year, and it's just awful to work with.

My current theory is that Ballmer must secretly work for Apple. Why else would he be going about destroying Microsoft, the past 5 years or so?

Windows 7?

You mean the last Windows OS people said was terrible and “ruined” the perfection of XP, which was said to have ruined the perfection from Windows 2000?

A whole new operating system??

Microsoft seems to think they have to rewrite the thing every couple of years or else they will lose revenue (actually they are probably right)

They should have stuck with WinXPPro and implemented a new support model- new features and serious upgrades if you have a yearly ‘support’ contract for $30 per year or something nominal

Win7 would also be a good candidate for that

but from what I have seen, Microsoft is the only company that gives you LESS features and calls it an ‘upgrade’

MSN messenger was absolutely fine until they removed useful features
