well, essentially vista but more fast and stable, and without the stupid problems vista has with UAC. so yeah, I guess it's the same thing... DUH. no.
and so what if it "rips off" kde? does that even matter? I don't think so anyway. and it seems to be getting less in your way than before.
and another thing. linux is really not all that much better than windows. seriously, look at all this random crap thrown everywhere! /bin, /usr/bin, /home/username/bin, bla bla bla bla bla bla... and hardly anything works the first time. compile everything yourself, bla bla bla. windows may have its problems, but so does linux. it's just a matter of what you're more used to or what kind of problems bother you less.

I don't care that the UI rips off KDE, except that I don't like KDE (So for me, Vista UI > 7 UI). I thought that UAC was the best thing about Vista, and now they've got rid of most of it by default. Do you know that, on the default setting, malicious programs can change Windows settings (including disabling UAC altogether) WITHOUT a prompt showing or a password? Microsoft claims that's a feature, not a bug. Fast? Possibly - it's still slower than XP. Stable? Vista is pretty stable anyway, except with bad drivers which 7 will still suffer from. I accept Linux is not for everyone - I won't claim it's better than Windows, just that it suits my needs better. The "random crap everywhere" is well documented and standardised as POSIX - almost every OS bar Windows uses it. I've never had to compile anything by hand and believe Packages are easier to add and remove than Windows installers.

OK then, can we agree that Paint with a Ribbon interface is a huge step backwards?
YES. I just used it and it's a mess. I swear it's been some time an application pissed me off this much. Selections are always off by 1,1 pixels, and the options aren't that easily accessible to me. I like the old positioning of everything.

Windows 7 is faster than XP, even. :O Someone ran tests, it beat XP and Vista on every Computer they could find.
Really? Well actually, for some results XP is actually better. Still, I'm enjoying my taskbar. It's practically always 60% full whether I have my most used apps open or not XD
