Another look at Operating Systems being used...

Here's where it stands at the moment, with the Windows 7 RC just days away. XP is still the Operating System of choice for the vast majority, and that's probably why Microsoft has been trying so hard to come up with a viable replacement for Vista. As we know, Vista has failed to unseat XP as the favourite of the masses of users - because XP does it better. All this may change with the advent of Windows 7, which incorporates some of the best features of several past systems, even as far back as Millennium and its System File Checker ( remember?) and good old SFC is still doing its thing just fine in Windows 7, Folks - in case you wondered. And Windows 7 also is much more friendly to other programs than Vista was. It promises to be the next and even-better XP, and once we all get a chance to try it, you'll see what I mean. Even in beta, this is a better program already than Vista was after its SP1 ungrades. That tells me a lot, right there. And they're working right now on a method of making the change from XP to 7 easier and less-painful for us - because they'd really like to retire that great but old operating platform. All they have to do is convince us there's something better now.
