I'm not sure how many details reviewers are allowed to mention, but that's usually what I'm interested in. Vague comments about stability or performance are extremely dependent on what you're doing (which the article doesn't say much about), and therefore aren't really saying anything. A more useful review would be something like: pick 5 tasks, remind people how horrible and awkward they were to accomplish in XP, and then show how Windows 7's new features make those tasks much easier to complete. (I can probably find more like 50 tasks that are awkward in other versions of Windows, so finding a small list shouldn't be hard.) If Windows 7 hasn't changed at least enough to make 5 common tasks easier to do, then I really don't care about how snappy, stable or pretty it seems to be.
