Too much Windows 7! Too much Ubuntu! Too much OS X! Too much whining! If you don't want to read an article DON"T READ IT! Windows 7 is news, get over it. I'm interested in it, many people are interested in it. Just because you are not, doesn't give you the right to try to limit what other people want to read, please, just don't read the article.

Man, you'd think that this site should change it's name to Complaining News, people complain about the articles, the mod system, the editors, even people complaining about the complainers! (that's me, for those in the cheap seats)

I'm interested in Windows 7 but I'm not interested in making love to it.

It would probably turn you down anyway, even Windows has standards. :-)

Come on, 2 weeks ago, we got one article to tell how they would call it and one article to tell why they called it Windows 7. This is not what people expect from news aggregators. Now this article is actually interesting, but this should have been the only one. I know you get dollars by posting Windows articles but this is too much. I expect no more than one article per month for an OS that is not available but 1 article out of 3 talk about Windows 7 these days! If you want to know everything that is going on about Windows 7, Read the blogs on Microsoft sites, register to mailing lists but there is no need to post 3 article every single day with new screenshots.

Too much Windows 7! Too much Ubuntu! Too much OS X!


Seriously though, the number of Windows 7 articles lately is quite staggering. It makes the flood of Ubuntu and OSX articles that happens on occasion look like a small forest stream.
And this for an OS that is not even remotely close to being released.

It doesn't, but it is an attempt. That's the point of complaining, isn't it?
