It's October 22 today. A completely random date in the grand scheme of things (we Dutch lost a big naval battle to the Ming dynasty on October 22 1633), but it also happens to be the release date of the newest version of Windows - Windows 7. Since Windows is still the most popular desktop operating system out there, this is pretty big news.

To most people, a computer is a fancy appliance. The idea of putting an OS that didn't come with it is sorcery, to left to the learned sages (those of us who don't fear breaking our systems
).
Sad, but that's how it goes. I don't even know if most of them realize it would be possible to just get a new OS. Of those, too many are too afraid to try anything, so might get out off by labor+OS costs v. just buying a new low-end PC.
