Is this like Win2000 that was announced for years and then release as a $700 SERVER?

Will it be as good as VISTA?

Will vista owners get a rebate toward a new purchase id they can prove they are not happy? (i.e. if they can prove they own VISTA)

By all reports Windows 7 is a very very good OS, of course the appleites will never acknowledge this or the light weight smart asses who think it is cool to dump on something because a certain company that touched them in forbidden places made it. I personally can’t wait. It is supposed to be less resource grubbing, has the fastest boot time of any OS made, plus a lot of other little improvements and new things added.

Hmm.. Maybe by the time it's released, VirtualBox in Ubuntu will support loading it as a virtual machine and I can toy with it from within Linux.. :)

Seriously though, I installed Ubuntu about 4 months ago now and made a real effort to use it exclusively. It turns out that I can do nearly everything with it that I could with windows, and what I can't do, or won't work with WINE, I use VirtialBox to load a windows machine from within Linux. I doubt I'll ever install M$ on one of my home machines again as the base OS.

Windows 7 will be market ready quickly. MS took XP and changed the background. Voila! Windows 7.

Joking.

Windows 7 is going to be great. Windows bashers - keep in mind that Microsoft always starts off with a crappy product but then hits one out of the park. It happened with Windows 98, Windows XP, the first Xbox, and now with Windows 7. No doubt that Microsoft heard folks loud and clear about Vista. I look forward to 7 but will keep XP for now.
