So Microsoft has a new operating system. Can the company still make average computer users care? By the time you read this, Windows will have officially launched, and there will probably be a new round of commercials for the operating system — and the new touchscreen computers containing it — filling the time between weekend NFL games and MLB playoff action on your TV. The Thursday press conference in New York starring CEO Steve Ballmer will have provided its share of sound bites and feature demonstrations for the cable business channels.
I love how people have no minds of their own. The Media and marketing departments run the minds of millions accross the world. For example nobody liked Vista because a few morons decided to try it on ancient hardware and it didn't work so the media gave it a bad rap. Well, here is a wake up call! There was nothing wrong with Windows Vista. It was far better than any other Windows OS to date and I can prove it. Go buy Windows 7 and then after your comfortable with it go use Windows Vista, THEY ARE THE EXACT SAME OS!!!!!! This whole "Windows 7" stunt is just Microsoft making a few slight changes to Vista to make it look fresh and re-releasing it under an alias. In all fairness they have to because a few morons ruined Vista's reputation. Even though they are one in the same technology reviewers have to say that Windows 7 is "amazingly better than Vista" because their jobs depend on the declining sales in the technology world to turn around (as does mine) and Windows 7 is their best bet for a career saving rebound. Though we could have avoided this if people would stop believing everything they see on TV or read on the internet and try things for themselves.
(I still use Win3.1 apps, so you can read my mind...) As long as it costs $100 month for the privilege of using a $400 "smart" phone (that's $1,200 a year), my bet is on the smart solid state netbooks with their beautiful screens and PC operating systems.
