MS have blundered yet again by not extricating W7 from the taint of Vista. Keeping the same UI look-and-feel is a BIG mistake. After installing the RC, I wondered what the fuss is all about. Looks like the tech media has closed ranks in talking up Win7. After all, they don't want to kill the golden goose. Most make a living from writing about Windows and another failed release would mean curtains to their journalistic aspirations.

I only use others as guinea pigs. I'll stick with my XP. Found nothing in Win7 worth the upgrade. The startup and shutdown were fast - big deal. I am not giving another cent to Intel or MS after falling for their "Vista Ready" scam.

"22-hour XP upgrades". That is totally false. There IS NO direct upgrade route from XP to Win7. Some Vista upgrades have taken more than 10 hours apparently.
