Story: Microsoft: Windows 7 development on track
Is that "On Track" as in train wreck?
The only thing that seems to be real in all the BS floating about is the fact that there is ANOTHER version coming. Yeah, whoopee. They haven't really made exPee secure enough to keep it from getting compromised. They continue to issue security patches for exPee AND winista. So they want all of us to go pay even more money for the NEXT BIG THING in operating systems. Time to derail the marketing train.
We hear these trial balloons about Winseven being "modular", smaller, quicker, faster etc. Then we hear that it will be based completely on wista code, oh joy. All that I hear and read about is BS the marketing toads at m$ are deliberately leaking to test out what the "public" thinks and wants in windowseven.
I call for a total moratorium on all media outlets on the subject of windozeseven. Do not play into the hands of the marketing wizards at ms$. This whole leaking miasma is nothing more then the groundlaying for the next big marketing putsch from Redmond. It is as calculating and deliberate as it possibly can be. And if the media writers and reporters would just SHUTUP about indowseven vaporware then we'd see what ms$ would really be willing to do to make an operating system that would actually work the way it ought to.
Right now all the hits wndws2+5 generates on Google and other search engines are like counting coup, little pips that reinforce the marketing people's goals*. All of the reporters that repeat what they hear from other reporters, a perfect viral campaign, doesn't cost the gorilla a dime in advertising dollars.
You website & news outlet reporter guys want more money? Stop talking and writing about you-know-what and you'll see the advertising dollars flow more freely from Washington state. If they can't get it free, they'll have to pay for it! Think about it.
* That's 785 MILLION! as of 3 minutes ago. All for something that DOESN'T EVEN EXIST YET!
