Yeah, Vista wasn't a terribly tough act to follow.

By the way, what's up with the numerical title of the operating system?

7 is better than XP. Both performance wise and looks wise.

As for numerical titles... Well... Fuck knows. If video game developers can use any sequeling scheme they want... So can Microsoft.

Was there a windows 6 (and a 1, 2, 3 etc, like with GTA) or is it the 7th system they've released?

Fuck knows and fuck cares. Windows 7 RC is awesome.

I think the download is still up. You can get it for free with a serial key that lasts until March.

 Interestingly, windows is currently on version number 6.1.

 And from looking at notes on the windows development, it seems unsurprisingly that Vista was meant to be a small update in comparison to 7. Which begs the question: Why did Microsoft advertise it so much?

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.

And give it its own name, and its own advertising campaign?  All seems a bit odd.

I'm guessing they were just desperate to beat XP... They failed. Now apparently they learned how to do it right and did it right.

Windows seven was under development for a long, long time. I don't doubt they did some last-minute changes after Vista, but they are already planning Windows 8. It look like nothing as simple as just a desperate flop.

If you don't have 10 feet in your room, squinting helps reduce the required distance.

Anyway, the Ackbar/ Barack anagram/ resemblence is also weird.

Gah! Copy pasta is stale! I was trying to post a generic "It's a trap!" image... But that Obama one came instead... I'll just keep it since there's no point changing it now.

I did think it was a bit irrelevant, although a good picture nonetheless.
