-=PCTechTalk=- Re: Micro$oft does it again... only worse this time:

Does Microsoft ever hear the "public"?  I wonder if Windows 7 will be more 
like XP?  I remember when I moved to Win2K I was filled with wonder and when 
XP came along that was dreamworld.  Why didn´t MS assimilate this and just 
improve a system which was a winner?  And what about Longhorn... did that 
transform into Vista or was it the prototype for Windows 7?
