Here comes the next OS from Microsoft

Not doing to this start up the OS flame wars but found this and thought members of the community might like to comment.
It seems that just a short time ago we were all talking about the new OS that was about to be released called Vista. Now here comes Windows 7. Yes I know it's probably more than a year away but that really means that beta testers will probably have it in thier hands within 8 to 10 months or sooner.
Really seems to me that this is not long enough for Vista to have worked out what ever problems were still there. I wonder if this is a reaction to consumer acceptence or just Microsoft wanting to put Vista on the shelf? Or, is this just Vista with a new look (lets put a new dress on the girl and see if anyone asks her out)?

Possibly but costs more and you cant put them on mute when ur tired of listening..
More to the point, a PC won't give you a hangover or social diseases... me, I'll stick to my PC and a cup of tea.

( Vista renamed to "Mohave")
Yeah, the Mojave Experiment, I saw that.
I believe there was a skeptic guy who, when told the truth that it was Vista, said, "Then why is it fast?"
Got a great laugh from it, but it proved how little people actually knew Vista
This was a good experiment, MS grabbed some of the Walmart laptops and upgraded the ram so it had more than 512 mb, and then had people test it out. Turns out, if you have a gig or more of ram, Vista isn't so bad.
(I made that up, but you get the point.)
