Ahh but now we have to wait and see what Apple bring out to compete against this. I am sure as there should be a sneaking new mac on the way for this years 2010 christmas release.

Should be interesting who comes out on top with this one.

Looks like finally Microsoft is getting it right. Unwanted processes/resources must be freed in first place for any OS, other it would be a bloated system. But, now that its fixing the issues, marketing team is taking to its advantage and riding the train of GO Green.

Dear G Ames, have you not noticed that "comparisons" no longer are comparable. They are fluff. "trying to make it real- compared to what" as the old jazz song put it is more true than ever. Stats about humongous rises (like of crime) from rediculously low base lines - the statistic only obscures the non-importance (up 100% from 1 is ony 2, for instance, or a battery use of 1.5 hours is 100% improvement over .75....but still sucks))

Comparasons without HARD numbers always make me suspect. And under what situations? Remember epa figures? now everybody plays the game and you, I and perhaps even a few others have gotten 'sceptical.'

I'm setting in a library that just updatedd to 7 and the librarian is explaining to a lady across how its been so slow since....he thinks its because they don't have enough memory for the "improvement." less running, more memory? I could only suggest they would be well served with a certain "L" competitor!!!

Bill is half the man his Father is, his company is still pretending to be usefull....well, thats just my sour grapes taklkin...
