| 707882 | 2008-09-30 02:29:00 | And Vista delivered. :D Kind of IMO. Vista SP1 delivered. RTM Vista was still in beta really. I'm happily using Vista Home Premium SP1 here. couldn't be happier. Vista Fan Club gets 1 more member! |

| 707883 | 2008-09-30 11:34:00 | Another link for those who may care: http://windows7news.com/ This suits me just fine: news.cnet.com "Microsoft has decided that Windows 7 won't include built-in programs for e-mail, photo editing, and movie making, as was done with Windows Vista" The more they take out, the better I'll like it. Well, I've never really liked Movie Maker although it's nice to have 'just in case' When you say photo editing, does that mean they will remove MSPaint? I hope not. Probably one of the best applications that came from Microsoft. But how about let's just put the colour toolbar back to where it's always been (and there was absolutely no point in changing it whatsoever) and then leave it alone. 'nuff said. As for Windows Mail, I've never used it (only opened it once to have a look) I still use OE6 on XP and it works 99% perfectly for me. Outlook has too much useless rubbish I don't need or want. |

| 707884 | 2008-09-30 11:36:00 | Yeah and they could do a marketing campaign on tv, they could get Mick Jagger to sing a song. How about "Wake Me Up." video.google.com |

| 707885 | 2008-09-30 16:24:00 | video.google.com Thanks so much for that video. I love the Weird Al song, so to see this video (and d/l it) was great. Some people are so clever ! |

| 707886 | 2008-09-30 19:06:00 | Windows 7 sounds promising....but so did Vista. Windows 7 = Vista with new logo on bootup and new eye candy. The underlying bloat will be the same.. |

| 707887 | 2008-09-30 19:08:00 | Windows 7 also = alpha. The GUI is one of the last things Microsoft usually change. (Consider early Vista - sorry, Longhorn - betas. Also XP betas were recoloured versions of Windows 2000 basically.) | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 707888 | 2008-09-30 19:40:00 | And Vista delivered. :D Delivered what exactly? |

| 707889 | 2008-09-30 20:55:00 | It delivered what it promised, i.e. better security etc. | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 707890 | 2008-09-30 21:01:00 | It delivered what it promised, i.e. better security etc. Yes, but at a cost to usability... |
