At first I thought it was an April Fool's prank because the date of the article is April 1 *but* it referenced an article from January.

I will say that Win 7 is far better than Vista (easily) and XP. My current PC is Win 7 and I will be converting it to dual boot Win 7 and OSX (ye olde Hackintosh). It's cool to see it running on a netbook.

Good luck with Win 7, personally I found it easy-peasy to install on a new hard drive. It took maybe 90 minutes! All the drivers I needed were included. I installed it on a brand new setup and I never had to load drivers for the motherboard or the video card from CDs. A couple of times through Windows Updates and I was running all the current drivers.

My experience with Win 7 is very positive. It handles everything I throw at it. The only minor problem I had was getting it to run SageTV Client software. Had to install a third party free audio codec. A couple of resource intensive programs took a couple of tries to install correctly but I am running a release candidate and everything won't perfect.

All in all, Win 7 has given me a more positive opinion of Microsoft.
