Comments on: Microsoft Windows 7 Sooner Rather Than Later http://gigaom.com/apple/microsoft-windows-7-sooner-rather-than-later/ Fri, 10 Feb 2012 15:56:38 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Don http://gigaom.com/apple/microsoft-windows-7-sooner-rather-than-later/#comment-334187 Thu, 30 Oct 2008 20:28:46 +0000 http://theappleblog.com/?p=8504#comment-334187 The big question is how all of this will eventually stack up against Snow Leopard? I heard rumors that Windows 7 may, in fact, have it’s own version of ‘Grand Central’ in place when it ships. This could turn out to be quite an interesting development to watch unfold.

I’m sure Windows 7 will be what everyone expects which is basically Vista with the bugs fixed and possibly a bit snappier, but I still won’t use it. Just looking at the screen shots of the new features and tweaks that came out this week makes my eyes bleed from all the tedious reading and clicking of buttons one has to do. And what are the odds that all those little word balloons in the task bar will finally be gone?

At least on the Mac, things are as simple and straightforward as they can be. I switched from Windows not because of the glitches, but because with XP and Vista I didn’t have control of my own computer anymore, and because I got tired of “managing” my computer.

A computer is, well … a computer. It should manage itself.

Does that mean that Se7en will take out Vista?
