exactly. part of it reads as if he was defending it against macos (mentioned it 6 times). then he describes in excruciating detail small GUI improvements that gnome (or any other wm i guess) pushed through in 6month (oh wow windows-previews in the taskbar). he admits that in the area of networking there is still room for improvement but at least "now you can see all available wireless networks by just clicking on an icon in the taskbar". way to go! but windows wins in other areas: windows7 has "some of the same kind" (!?) of multitouch gestures the iphone made popular. yeah.. how would i even.. Compatibility is also satisfactory: firefox, adobe, etc. work. good job MS! though he fails to mention that they don't work out-of-the-box. how could they: they are not in the box. let's just hope their migration plan gets better when the next BIG THING gets pushed out in 10 years... or so. improving shouldn't be hard: it's not possible to upgrade without whipping your HD - assuming you now have an XP install. oh right: that's basically everybody.
