Windows 7 Continues the disappointment started by Windows Vista. Based on current in store testing of Windows 7 compared to Windows Vista, there's not much difference. Sure its a bit snappier, but still requires a workhorse computer to be half as good as an old pc running Windows XP. ("This is the worst Internet I've ever used" quipped a user of the Windows 7 pc in our web cafe) If the final release is no better than the current "release candidate" we believe Microsoft will continue to see a wholesale loss of clients to (Linux) Linux Mint and Apple.
