Windows 7
– Faster boot time and performance.
– An improved task bar that is a little reminiscent of the OS X dock at the bottom of the desktop screen.
– Jumplists — which reveal recently opened documents, Web pages, and common tasks when you right click on an app in the task bar.
– Improved networking, which will make setting up streaming media between devices simpler. It will also let you tell one computer to stream media from another computer to a third device like an Xbox or a Roku
– Windows 7 will also get a public beta, starting January 9, so consumers will be able to try out the new operating system. This a first for any Microsoft OS.
Window Live Services
– Partnership with Facebook that will sync LiveSpaces accounts with Facebook accounts, making Microsoft’s social networking site more relevant!
– Useful search side bar in Live Hotmail that minimizes the need for switching tabs.
– Live Messenger is adding dynamic buddy icons that update according to the emoticons you use.

Why do we pay for Vista! Linux is free and powerful. No one needs expensive microsoft prod. If anyone wants to play video games they can do this with game consols.
I heard that after Vista, arguably the
biggest disaster in Microsoft’s history,
Windows 7 is only a minor disaster.
Amazing that Microsoft has a virtual monopoly on operating systems with such trash.

Speaking of crap, please, notice how “disapointing” is misspelled in the headline. What an excellent proof that a good quality is most difficult to achieve for everyone.
Probably best is to start by fixing our own backyard first?
Yes. Vista Sucks.
I am sticking with XP.
