Windows 7 in 2009?

As Microsoft releases various betas of Windows 7 and new betas get leaked weekly, it looks increasingly like we'll see Windows 7 in 2009. The question for this blogger is, should Windows 7 make its way into Ed Tech in 2009? The answer, in the spirit of 2009 predictions and resolutions, is no, for a heck of a lot of reasons.

Bob Dole will stick to Windows XP, thank you!

JsonHenry6348d ago

The beta I tried out seems like it will be decent enough. But not decent enough for me to pay $200 for it when Vista is just now solid enough to use.

Kevin McCallister6348d ago

So people who actually pay for their Windows OS's actually exist in the real world? I thought they were a myth.

kwyjibo6348d ago

The bulk of OS sales are to OEMs and enterprise licenses. Trying to buy a laptop/system without Windows installed is a b*tch.

Another Rushed out OS =epic Fail again for MS

Sircolby456348d ago

Apparently you missed all of the reviews stating Windows 7 is already an excellent and stable OS and the beta process has barely begun. Yah really sounds like they are on their way to "epic fail."

Kakkoii6348d ago

It's not rushed out in any shape or form. Because it is Vista, but much more improved/optimized.

Vista is the rushed out form of Windows 7. Windows 7 is completely stable already in it's beta form, and runs as fast as a new install of XP even.

incogneato6348d ago

gayest article ever. all he does is talk about other operating systems.

stop approving trash like this. this isnt news, this is just some random dorks opinion on a blog.

pippoppow6348d ago

All they want to do is rush out products which wind up being defective. They should take their time and release a high quality product finally. When will they learn their lessons?!

Kakkoii6348d ago

Wow, is your brain the size of a wallnut?

Sorry, your post just sounded so stupid. Your talking as if Windows 7 is a whole new OS that was created in 3 years.

It is not a whole new freaking OS. It has been in the making since Vista was in the making.. because it is Vista! It's just been improved on and heavily optimized. And the results are great.

Microsoft did learn their lesson. Instead of just letting Vista be, they heard the complaints and worked on creating a upgraded version that was much better, instead of making people wait 7 years for a whole new OS.

This is basically Vista 2.0: What should have been.

HDgamer6348d ago

I won't use this unless its pretty much like xp but a lot more stable than vista. As a former vista owner I feel that vista just has so many complications. I use my pc for a lot of things, downgrading back to xp was a better choice.

incogneato6348d ago

you dont know what youre talking about. XP is obsolete trash compared to Vista. if you have an ancient computer, then i could see your point. otherwise, Vista is leaps and bounds above XP.

kwyjibo6348d ago

"you dont know what youre talking about"

Obsolete my ass, what does Vista do that XP doesn't for an average home or business user? XP is faster, uses less resources, and has better software/driver support.

The only benefit I would gain, is to make use of some shiny DirectX 10 effects that my card can do.

I have not installed Vista on my laptop either, because it adds nothing that I want, and will shorten my battery life. Note that I have a free legit copy of Vista with MSDN.

Kakkoii6348d ago

He's talking about Vista's layout. Not it's framework and how it operates.

Vista made it's file explorer a serious cluster f*ck. Why fix something that isn't broken? People don't like big changes to the way they operate their OS.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio21d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing21d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9221d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit21d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing21d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9221d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
