Windows 7

What kind of disaster do you think we're looking at here? Are we talking about a massive leap forward from the days of Windows XP? What’s everyone actually expecting?.....
I’m expecting a mountain of bugs and one giant resource hog that eats hardware for breakfast. ☕
Typically, Windows rolls out a year or two before the hardware is actually powerful enough—and affordable enough—to run it smoothly without constant stuttering. Plus, you get those inevitable glitches that don't truly get ironed out until you've burned through two or three service packs. It’s the exact same pattern we saw with Windows XP; it took about three years after launch before it finally hit that sweet spot of stability. Of course, I had to go out and buy a whole new rig just to keep up in the meantime. 😛
Lately, I've been spending more time messing around with Linux, and honestly, the simplicity and sheer quality of it have been a total surprise to me. :-)
