But then again you dont look too bright so i guess ill leave it be..]]>Jun 3rd 2009 8:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/03/microsoft-wants-new-term-for-netbooks-unhappy-with-other-5-ch/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/03/microsoft-wants-new-term-for-netbooks-unhappy-with-other-5-ch/Jun 3rd 2009 8:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/03/microsoft-wants-new-term-for-netbooks-unhappy-with-other-5-ch/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/03/microsoft-wants-new-term-for-netbooks-unhappy-with-other-5-ch/
But I would recommend Windows 7 to anyone with a decent PC. And especially over Vista. Microsoft got it right this time... they have done an excellent job at refining the OS. I use the beta on my Dell laptop (not the RC), and it is faster and functionally superior to Vista in just about every way. And, Microsoft has put several useful features in this OS not already present in *ahem* competing *ahem* operating systems.

This is why I'm an Apple fanboy. Because supporting them FORCES Microsoft to compete. Face it... without Apple knocking on the door, we would be waiting for 2 or 3 more years before seeing the successor to Vista (which would finally be good at SP3), and the successor would add eye candy and bloat like never before seen.

Not giving Apple the credit... just showing why I support them. (Besides, they make good products... like it or not.)]]>Jun 3rd 2009 8:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/03/microsoft-wants-new-term-for-netbooks-unhappy-with-other-5-ch/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/03/microsoft-wants-new-term-for-netbooks-unhappy-with-other-5-ch/Jun 3rd 2009 9:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/03/microsoft-wants-new-term-for-netbooks-unhappy-with-other-5-ch/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/03/microsoft-wants-new-term-for-netbooks-unhappy-with-other-5-ch/Jun 3rd 2009 9:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/03/microsoft-wants-new-term-for-netbooks-unhappy-with-other-5-ch/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/03/microsoft-wants-new-term-for-netbooks-unhappy-with-other-5-ch/

Jesus... That doesn't even make sense.

And I'm sure somebody rabid enough to be on Microsoft's payroll will point out that Apple wants the same thing-- they'll HAVE to point it out to me, because the mere existence of an Apple logo in my avatar means I think Apple can do no wrong, right? So for those idiots I say yeah, you're probably right. But Microsoft's always been a lot closer to gettting away with it than Apple ever has.

Fortunately in the past 5 years Microsoft's been so marginalized that people pay little attention to their attention-whoring attempts to define the world the way Microsoft wants them to, but I sure remember when it was a serious threat.]]>Jun 3rd 2009 1:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/03/microsoft-wants-new-term-for-netbooks-unhappy-with-other-5-ch/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/03/microsoft-wants-new-term-for-netbooks-unhappy-with-other-5-ch/Jun 3rd 2009 7:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/03/microsoft-wants-new-term-for-netbooks-unhappy-with-other-5-ch/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/03/microsoft-wants-new-term-for-netbooks-unhappy-with-other-5-ch/Jun 3rd 2009 7:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/03/microsoft-wants-new-term-for-netbooks-unhappy-with-other-5-ch/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/03/microsoft-wants-new-term-for-netbooks-unhappy-with-other-5-ch/Jun 3rd 2009 8:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/03/microsoft-wants-new-term-for-netbooks-unhappy-with-other-5-ch/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/03/microsoft-wants-new-term-for-netbooks-unhappy-with-other-5-ch/
Be happy they didnt suggest the name Apple did.

"crappy"

And I dont recall any outrage when Apple stated that, but MS desiring a name change?

Splitting its product into 6 or more variations, limiting its product, and now trying to create new markets that nobody else wants.

Windows 7 is good, but the praise is mostly undeserved. Heres hoping that Windows 8, which is meant to be the REAL Windows overhaul deserves its praise and doesnt have any nasty surprises like 3 app limits (even though it has been dropped by 7)
