Now that Windows 7 is more or less finalised on the feature side of things, with the release candidate around the corner, I thought it would be interesting to look back upon what we thought Windows 7 would be - and what we actually hoped Windows 7 would be. So, I dove into our article and comment archive to see how many of our hopes, dreams, and predictions came true.

Know the facts YES! I was trying not to be a bore! I was a long time Windows supporter. Most versions of DOS/Windows that Microsoft came out with from DOS 2.x to Windows XP I paid cash for.
More facts From Wiki, sorry MSDN library long gone.

Frankly Windows 7 will be just like the 95's and up. Programs that you've purchased and used in the past will break. Files that you've stored in XP will become garbage in Windows 7 and your new version of Office. Why buy it. Because you are locked in! Bad habits are hard to break!
Its not like there aren't a number of great alternatives.
