![]() ![]() Unfortunately Windows 7 is nothing more then Vista glorified and I'm sticking with XP until I figure out which Linux distro to use. But fair enough, the price did drop somewhat. This is opposed to 100% more expensive (Vista Ultimate versus XP Pro). The highest edition of 7 (Ultimate) is fifty percent more expensive than the highest edition of XP (Pro). It has also come down on the price a little. Microsoft has taken the UAC down a notch. Because of a long beta and RC testing phase, 7 is not going to be as buggy as Vista was when it debuted. Windows 7 is going to launch when the company said it will launch. Unfortunately, Windows 7 is also overpriced (slightly less so than Vista), and even more confusing.īut first, let's go over what Microsoft did right. Now, almost three years later, and almost five since Longhorn's initially-planned release, Microsoft is releasing the OS they should have launched several years ago. It arrived late, buggy, irritating (UAC), overpriced, underwhelming, confusing (licensing), and in some cases, incompatible. What really happened was 'Longhorn' became Vista, and it didn't make it out the door until 2007. ![]() However, that's not how events played out.
