“We barely know the features of the one we just got,” he says.

That said, Cherry is expecting less “earth-shattering” new features than improvements on some of the new ones found in Windows Vista, such as the Bitlocker encryption feature, which is currently hard for the average PC user to navigate.

"With products such as the Apple iPhone making the touchscreen popular with consumers, a touchscreen UI in Windows 7 is a possibility, Silver says. “They don’t want to look bad next to Apple.:rolleyes: ” Desktop search, a new feature built into Vista, also has room for improvement."

Microsoft appears to be like the world's biggest container ship that is in motion without its steering ...aka drifting and directionless.

574159 2007-07-30 08:06:00 Was gonna say 300 problems with the extra features of bloatware, but then you edited so I did too :p Agent_24 (57)

574161 2007-07-30 08:50:00 2007 PJ = 69

2010 PJ = 72

2012 PJ = 74

2012 XP Home = PJ @ 74 & content .

Who gives a damn about Vista & Vienna anyway .

Maybe by 2012 there will be a serious competitor to Windows . It would be nice to have a realistic choice .

Linux et al, Google, aside . No competition as yet . PJ
