Has Mossberg always been the king of trumpeting diminished expectations, or is this a new thing? Is Microsoft a major Wall Street Journal advertiser?
So if a critic expresses a view contrary to your own views he's a shill? Great argument. Windows 7 is actually really good. And here's the shocker: so is Mac OS X.
Must we have religious wars over which bits are on your hard drive?
- monos 17y agoit's an easy to understand piece about the advantages of win7 vs winxp, as perceived by the average (definitly not HN-reading) user. that, for me, reads like the ads on TV selling drugs. please ask your doctor / sysadmin which OS to use, not that guy on TV / tech column. or else we will make fun of you. sorry for ranting so much, but it drives me crazy. my girlfriend actually was asking about windows7, how much she needs it and how much better everything is going to be. of course i will encourage every normal person i know to install windows7 (just to get rid of IE6 within the next years, hopefully).
