I’m going to start this off like a bad Seinfeld joke, very apropos because of the commercials he recently did with Bill Gates for Microsoft.
What’s the deal with Windows 7? Just because you call it 7 doesn’t mean you have to have seven different varieties!
Well, they’re not quite there yet, but after announcing yesterday that there will be six (yes six), they have plenty of time to add one more before launch some time later this year. Seriously, what are they thinking? They’ve actually received good press for the beta version they released earlier this year- why crap it up with an armload of varieties at different prices? I’m also with Leo Laporte on this one, release it quickly and for $99.
Although I primarily use macs, I’m not a windows hater. It would be nice to see Microsoft clean up its image a bit considering the drumming they’ve taken in the last couple of years.
Crunchgear has a nice wrap-up of all the different flavors.
