...because it's being installed on every new PC that has Windows at a knock down price to the manufacturer.

The big victory is that even the haters are having trouble criticizing it. It's the OS that MS should have put out long ago.

I love W7 but its still kind of weird how it took them so long to finally get it right.

I can only assume you don't actually work with a computer. I find it hard to find where anything is, I don't like the Explorer bug that makes it a pain to work with -here: http://social.answer...d-55ffbbd0e998/ - they appear to have renamed tasks just for the hel_l of it so you can't find them and they have left "dead-end" shortcuts littered all over the C: drive, eg. "Documents and Settings", "Application Data", etc.

The only good thing they have done is the "Search programs" window. Because it would be impossible to use the computer without it.

I wonder when Windows 1000 will be released? 1000 copies a second is a lot of dosh!
