I wonder... why microsoft isn't testing their products first?! They should first test it and fix it if there are issues, then release it. Microsoft does it exactly the opposite: first releases the operating system, then release many patches and fixes... it's very annoying.

To be fair, there are thousands upon thousands of hardware combinations that m/s has to program for, and I reckon it's unrealistic to expect them to build every possible combination of parts on the planet and test it to death.

But I don't really care, I just wait 3 or 4 years until it's fixed, no big deal.

I used to be on one for a while but kind of lost interest. Then after heading off to school, I couldn't download much anymore so I'm way out of the loop as far as torrents go :p

Update: My friend showed me the installation window of Windows 7. So we'll see how the install goes.

In 3-4 years a new version will come :D

2006 - Vista
2009 - Windows 7

2009-2006 = 3 years

They won't release Windows 7 before 2010. Microsoft can't afford to. They need to take the time to get it right.

Not sure, but the beta is released to the testing guys already, isn't it? This means that it's not long before it will be released. Of course, the bugs need to be fixed.... unless microsoft forgets that and releases the OS then creates many patches.

Wasn't Longhorn released to testers like 1-2 years before the release in November of 2007?

If you are a big time developer you get the alpha version. You sign hefty NDAs and such, and they will sue you to hell and back if you get caught leaking information.

Anybody know a Windows 7 theme for Vista? I found a few but they didn't have any installation instructions.

They both copy, we all know it.

That new calculator looks nifty. It'll take more than that to go through the effort of upgrading though :p
