You may be on to something. "os x sucks" gets only 4,010 hits.<br><br>"switching from windows": 63,700 hits<br><br>"switching from mac": 503 hits<br><br>PS, Windows 7 STILL won't have any major internal overhauls: the major features cut form Vista years ago like WinFS aren't aven PLANNED to be working by the next major Windows: http://weblogs.jupiterresearch.com/analysts/card/archives/2008/05/no_way_to_build_1.html<br><br>It will, however, add touch support. You know, the feature that makes sense for a handheld but not a PC. Unless everyone buys touchscreens and gets forearms like Popeye from lifting their arms up to use them. Somehow I think people will still be reaching for the low-effort mouse, no matter how much they spent on a new touchscreen PC for Windows 7.<br><br>nagr[color:red]o</font color=red>mme<br><br>I require stroyent!<br>TeamMacOSX.com | MacClan.net

I thought that hilarious they demoed the big feature of Windows 7 the other day and .... (drum roll) it's an APPLE feature (and patent) from the iPhone and touch iPod !! <br><br>WOW MS ... way to adopt others innovation.<br>I hope they don't pull the "steal the technology" (GIU) crap and try to avoid Apples patents again ! <br><br>David (OFI)

I figure that in the ripeness of the new Windows OS, "Apple Inside" finally comes to mean OS X <br><br>[color:red]</font color=red> [color:orange]</font color=orange> [color:yellow]</font color=yellow> [color:green]</font color=green> [color:blue]</font color=blue> [color:purple]</font color=purple>
