You read the report about my blog... and reprinted the results here? Oh, how could you... *SMIRK*

Re: Let’s look at Windows 7 as a fresh start

This is a serious question, "What compelling reason(s) does a Joe/Jane Average XP user have to upgrade to Windows 7?" Aside from the 'Microsoft will discontinue supporting XP' concern I have difficulty recognizing a clear benefit from upgrading. (I will acknowledge the "Eye-candy" value of W7 which has always been a driving force in the PC world.)

I had a hunch you might see it that way... and I am not surprised. It appears to be a great execution of a FAIL concept. (Great post on your part.)

Cranky:

Well struck! You certainly have made a case for mediocrity. Once I stop hyperventilating from laughter I will offer a rebuttal.

Your government already knows everything about you (or can in very short order) why not use this to speed up pinch points?

Sadly I am sure that the rest of the '8-year-old' politicians will make it the talking point... Instead of the more expressive gestures that O uses at 2:30-3:00 in this clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlR9DNfqGD4

Re: It was a tired joke then - It’s a tired joke now

No! You 'assume' that there are Windows programs that I might need. Having spent enough time with Linux (I am still a M$ Administrator so I know the difference) I can say that M$ is a slimy PC based virus that its users don't even recognize... Winders is a 'program' unto itself that must be run in a controlled sandbox so it doesn't pollute legitimate computing environments. I contain Winders in VMWare ... at least there it doesn't corrupt the rest of my computer. I find the assertion that I 'might need' some Winders programs ... contemptible. You, having consumed the Redmond Kool-Aid... might need a Winders program... sorry for your ill fortune.

Or you could just load Linux and you wouldn't have the problem in the first place.

Yo Cranky! You better retract that $1575.00 CAD or you will end up a mess on your hands... SMIRK
