Or, “Ding dong, Windows Vista is dead!” – as PC World puts it, going on, “Perhaps that is a bit premature. Windows 7 hasn’t been officially released for 24 hours yet, so its understandable if the jury is still deliberating. There are certainly those who think Windows 7 is nothing more than Windows Vista with an extra bell or whistle thrown in for eye candy.”

And, “Microsoft Corp launched Windows 7 on Thursday, its most important release in more than a decade, aiming to win back customers disappointed by Vista and strengthen its grip on the PC market,” says Reuters.

“The world’s largest software company, which powers more than 90 percent of personal computers, has received good reviews for the new operating system, which it hopes will grab back the impetus in new technology from rivals Apple Inc and Google Inc.”

When your thingy is installed on 90 percent of PCs whether buyers like it or not, how can you fail?

Meanwhile, “just to play devil’s advocate, let’s take a look at 5 ways Windows 7 could become another Vista,” says PC World, to wit »»»

  1. UAC still there. UAC– the bane of Windows Vista– hasn’t gone away.
  2. Hardware and Drivers. Windows Vista stumbled and fell right out of the blocks as a result of lagging hardware and device driver support.
  3. Performance improvement minor. A lot of fuss has been made about performance tweaks that ostensibly make Windows 7 faster than Windows Vista or Windows XP.
  4. Expensive. Face it. Windows 7 is not cheap.
  5. No direct upgrade from XP.

Now you know.
