What happened to Engadget? I've read the reviews, and Snow Lepoard isn't much better than Lepoard. I've used it myself, in fact, and besides the under the hood improvements, I couldn't tell any difference. Engadget, on the other hand, is acting like SL is the greatest thing ever created, and that every Microsoft product sucks, which of course, is completely backwards. Every post about SL is now positive. This ad campaign is not at all 'clever.' It's just plain stupid, unless you are a huge Apple fan, in which case you don't know what's good for you, and you might as well be shot now. They used to keep it pretty balanced. Now I get a headache whenever I land on this site during my every-10-minute news site cycle.

Windows 7 is a major release, which is characterized by the fact that it has an exponentially greater number of new features than Snow Leopard has. It's also not as buggy (read: no random data loss) thanks to a massive public betatesting process, which is something Apple never does thanks to their ego. The upgrade from XP doesn't need a Vista license to be done; if you're still using XP, odds are your apps and your box won't work with 7 anyway, and if you held off of Vista, then a clean install is the route for you. Better than ditching an entire platform the way Apple did with Snow Leopard. The UI does have dynamic updates, which you'd know if you knew anything about how DWM works. Finally, virtual desktops are a productivity drain.

The UI had tons of research go into it (literally, if you look at the weight of the cash spent), which is far better than Apple's arbitrary UI design (explains why Macs aren't intuitive). Windows 7 is one of the most intuitive and easy to understand OSes to hit the scene in a long time. That's why useless crap doesn't exist in Windows 7; all of it is useful and easy to get.

Finally, IE8 is CSS/CSS2 compliant, and HTML5 isn't out yet.]]>Oct 13th 2009 11:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/windows-7-branded-family-guy-special-to-air-november-8th/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/windows-7-branded-family-guy-special-to-air-november-8th/Oct 13th 2009 11:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/windows-7-branded-family-guy-special-to-air-november-8th/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/windows-7-branded-family-guy-special-to-air-november-8th/Oct 13th 2009 11:54PM
