Someone needs to send Microsoft this thread, it really tells the truth about what I and everyone who can form a reasoned informed opinion about their products, thinks. And we've all been sat looking at Msft products day in day out, all day for the last 10/15 years..
Saying that, I 'quite' like the look of 7, and have heard good things about it, so I'll prolly actually be shelling out for a non-oem version, having bypassed vista entirely.
However, my wife is constantly swearing at her 'new' vista media player, I never use Word, or any Office stuff because it got too complex and counter-intuitive to use - there are far simpler alternatives... I don't know why they feel the need for this blanket domination of every aspect of my computing experience - just make operating systems, make them open-ended, cheap, reliable, innovative and don't be a dick about it - then everyone, including myself, will spend proper money it, and you'll be set. That's the only way to exist as a customer-facing brand in the next 20 years - thinking 'local' means occupying just the right corner of your customer's world, not trying to be General Motors.
