Will be a major improvement on Vista, apparently.
Not being a major geek, I don’t have a million sob stories about Vista - but the lack of compatibility with older applications was rubbish. If 7 doesn’t have the same issues, that’s the major selling point; the rest will be fluff.
Unfortunately, the name Windows 7 reminds me of totally useless UK sci-fi show of the 70s, Blake’s 7. Which is just a contrived way of allowing me to post a gratuitous picture:
70’s style. Marvellous.
