Windows APCMag sums up the information we already have on Windows 7. "We're still in the long dark before 7's dawn, but the earliest signs are encouraging: a new streamlined kernel, an inbuilt VM for running old software, a revised and simplified UI... There's every chance that Microsoft intends Windows 7 to rise from the ashes of Vista and be what Mac OS X was for Apple."

Then he should say that instead of trolling. Or counter-trolling, if you prefer. :p


Trolling is trolling. If something is trolling (which this clearly is: making false statements without the evidence to back them u just to start a flamewar) I will say so.

Seeing nobody hasn't come up with anything meaningful but WinFS, we can safely declare the "all features were yanked from Vista" argument DEAD, BURIED, and IDIOTIC. Period.

It is buried right next to "Linux cannot be used on desktops".

But do you realize that, by joining the fray (which you shouldn't be doing in the first place), you actually *fueled* that flame war?

You may disagree with what the original poster said, but even if there was only two features cut he still has an arguable point, and you disagreeing with him is a matter of opinion, not fact. That's fine, but you shouldn't present it as anything else.

In any case, I'm now expecting you to call the next person who suggests that Linux isn't ready for the desktop a troll.
