no I havent used it.

I just took a second and read through the engadget review and it seems to be lukewarm about most of the OS. I'm frustrated that windows doesnt seem to understand how I want to use my computer, which after this many years of incremental releases is shameful.

You're very aggressive in your criticism for someone who hasn't even used the OS.
 
Anyone know the song in the college one? Its by Catherine Feeny but I cant seem to find the song title anywhere, I liked it.
 
Aero Shake is lame I never use it. They should be pimping Snap. That is by far my favorite feature of win 7.

These commercials suck. Too artsy fartsy. Give me the cute asian girl, make her the microsoft mascot.
 
I hate to say it, but without the glasses Lauren looked kinda weird:

if they made a tighter/leaner/faster/more optimized OS that I didnt feel was going to break my computer (ie, all the things the mac has done with snow leopard) I would be first in line to upgrade. disclaimer: I'm not a mac user. I "feel" like there arent any compelling reasons to upgrade other than a reskin( and here I should admit that the only things I know about windows 7 are the giant ugly taskbar and the aero claw hand seizure gesture) . they need to get on the ball and stop hinting at the lifestyle of windows and talk more about why its their best OS ever.

I know this is an old post, but still.......... this is probably the craziest thing I've ever read. Not only has Windows caught up to snow leopard in many cases, it's actually surpassed it in quite a few areas also. Windows 7 is the most significant upgrade to windows since xp brought the NT kernel to the home desktop, and before that all the way back to win 95. It actually feels and works like a wonderfully tuned modern OS should.

to put it another way, the first half of this year I was literally dying to get a mac.. not as a novelty but because with everything I am doing windows was so broken to get anything done, I had to move to OSX just for my workflow to not suck... unfortunately I NEED a MacPro for the move to really be apples to apples (no pun intended) so due to budget have had to put it off. Now after being on Windows 7 RTM for around two months I can honestly say the only thing I NEED a Mac for anymore is iphone development.. yeah video and sound editing are nicer on the mac also, but for just everyday usage Win7 is pound for piound able to hang with Snow Leopard.

I am actually shocked that MS created Win7. Lean, fast, capable, versatile..... this is the most un-MS piece of software they've released over the last 15 years.

I think we should observe a moment of silence for Vista. MS is telling us to make our time.

That's like if the dog down the block that everyone hates because it bites people and barks all the fucking time dying, but getting a brand new adorable awesome puppy, and caring about the dead annoying dog instead.
 
any commercial that uses final countdown is WIN

not to mention they actually advertise their product unlike some other company *cough* apple* cough* who spends their entire commercial talking about someone elses product
 
I got chosen to host a Windows 7 launch party. They are sending me a free copy of Windows 7 Ultimate and balloons and shit. I dont think anyone is gonna show up though.
