We hear hype all of the time. But rarely does a new OS from Windows come out with such rave reviews. Vista had hype but the reviews were god awful once it came out. Windows 7 is clearly in a different league. If the reviews I'm reading are true, Windows 7 could help PC makers, chip makers, the whole bunch of them.

Apple's latest commercial sums up the entire Windows OS history pretty nicely, if not laugh out loud funny if you've been around since the Windows/286 days.
Truth be told, Win7 is simply Vista 2.0 with a prettier GUI and follows the pattern of a usable WinOS release after an abominable one.
The worst part, IMHO, of both Vista and Win7 is the paranoid security and DRM crawling throughout the OS.
I've already bumped my head into Microsoft denying me access to my WinXP machine because of their programmatic idea of one too many upgrades which requires me to call some twerp in India in order to regain access.
Sorry, MS, you and the RIAA/MPAA do NOT own my machine, get your friggin' mitts off of it.
I'll stick with WinXP until the security updates stop, or this hardware dies. After that, it's a Mac from now on.
Zero reason to upgrade to windows 7 in next couple years UNLESS you are building or purchasing a new box. A new operating system is not a compelling reason to buy a new box though.
As for a MAC, that is not a trading machine it is more for little school girls. Mac has 5% mkt share and all this hype of increasing mkt share is hogwash. I read somewhere even if MAC doubled mkt share they would have a whopping 10% share.........and that artical even suggested that would take a few years, if ever. MSFT has been a dead in the water stock for what a decade now?
Apple has a following like the republican party has a base. Some people just never wise up and fail to see they are being duped.

Myself i am looking to like last qtr of 2010 to build a new box. Wait for 32nm intel chip, serial attached scsi 6 , 15K speed instead of 3. LSI controller, new this and that and as last resort drop in a OEM copy of windows professional 7. I would like to build a 2 chip box but my trading is so simple i couls still be using the first box i bought. But grown up boys still like to tinker with toys.
PS: SSD drives will not beat a scsi spinning at 15k on a good controller card............the integrated scsi chips on th motherboard are not good, you need a good controller card. HOG OUT!!!
