I've been playing with the beta version... First impression is that the default "scrap metal" UI style is appalling... But this is only what you get when running it inside a VM (I'm not willing to risk a real machine yet!) or on hardware that doesn't support the Aero 3D interface.

Basically, it's Windows XP with 3D bits... And XP itself was Windows 2000 with blue bits and red "close" buttons! And there's more and more bloat and cost with each release...

But whatever happens, it'll almost certainly be a success for Microsoft due to the hype, plus the OEM sales, plus die-hard gamers that must have DX10.

I'll grudgingly upgrade one machine here to run it as I'll end up having to support it...

Evolution isn't always a good thing.  {bleep}roaches evolved for millions of years, yet remain basically the same.  With each new generation they just become harder to kill.

i dont know if id go as far as saying that windows rocks but i would say that computers would be nowhere where they are today withough microsoft and intel.

windows has alot of problems most due to its popularity (everyone wants to run in on all kinds of goofy hardware, and hackers dont bother with unpopular os being 2 reasons)
and intel cpus have poroblems mostly due to backwards compatibility. but all in all both companies have reseased products that have been useful for millions of people and have constantly pushed the state of the art.

commodore pushed technology twice  with the 1000 and the 3000. aga in 92 was only a minor push.
