I did try Windows 7 (both the beta and rc), and I really did try to like it... but it's just not for me. Too big and loaded down, too expensive for what it is, and like Vista before it a keyboard navigation nightmare. It just feels awkward and unwieldy to me by comparison to Ubuntu/GNOME and OS X which are my primary computing platforms now. I'll probably buy a copy at some point for use in a virtual machine so I can fix others' installations, but it won't ever be for me.

P.s., FTA:

Oh, boy. You've just given those who accuse osnews of being "Microsoft shills" some serious ammunition. I'm not saying you are, seeing as how it's from Amazon not Microsoft, but fair warning... the storm is likely coming.
