Reviewing the first beta of an important release like Windows 7 is never an easy job to do. A confouding factor is that many people have already made up their mind about Windows 7; not because they have tried it, but because it's a Microsoft product, and therefore it sucks. At OSNews we try to judge products by their own merits, not by the parent company that created it. Read on for a set of impressions regarding the Windows 7 beta.

Nice classic strawman argument there, "You dislike item A so I'm incorrect for pointing out issues with statement B." The two items are in no way related. I'm not defending Microsoft, I'm pointing out that the author's statement of that functionality being a bug is incorrect. Regardless of who makes the software or how many people dislike the way it behaves the feature being discussed is, within the bounds of its design, not incorrectly implemented. Whether the design is flawed or not is an entirely different argument.
