After reading stuff like this one really comes to wonder whether they really have some aces up their sleeves or they are totally clueless 

Windows 7 shall be interesting.

I like that they don't like the Apple ads:
"Mommy!!! he is picking on me!!! I gonna pick on him... someday..."
Now let's see what windows 7 will be.. may it finally challenge osx

I really don't think Win 7 will be able to challenge user friendliness, ergonomics and style of Apple systems, but MS will have to really do it much better than its predecessor, so it will add even more nails to Vista's coffin.

Should we start taking bets on how many SP's it will take for Win 7 to work properly (or somewhat properly)?

I'd bet the same ol', same ol': first SP to make it barely acceptable, second to make it decent, third and so on to make it good, but then MS decides it's time for the users to buy its unbelievable buggy, power hungry, bloated, more expensive and unready successor
