Windows 7 will be good. It’s already been decided.

Here is why it will be accepted!

Windows 7 is going to be widely accepted by the general population. This will be a big change from Windows Vista which, according to the mass public, sucked.

I’m not a huge hater of Vista. I mean I tweaked it slightly, so it didn’t annoy me as much. But overall it hasn’t been that bad. There are a lot of improvements over XP… something that few people will admit, or know. I also haven’t run into any combatability problems… although I’m told they exist with almost every third party software. The reality is, that that program that work on 98, will probably not work on Vista. But give Microsoft a break for a second. 1998 was a long time ago. It was over 10 years ago. To visualize 10 years ago, this is what people viewed on their interweb machines:

So forgive me if you’re using software made for a computer that came with IE4 and I don’t care. That didn’t make vista bad. Stop wining that that 10 dollar game you bought from Zellers (or Wal-Mart) doesn’t work anymore. Don’t come in and ask the computer sales men if they sell “Manny’s Magical Mystery of Awesome 3″ no one, but you, knows what that is… or if it ever existed. That’s not why Vista Sucked.

Vista Sucked because we decided it did. The early adopters, us tech nerds, on the internet decided we didn’t need to be handled like Sally – your 93yr. old grandmother – We are quite able to understand the difference between installing AVG and a Virus. This annoyed us, we complained (and blogged), and told our friends how annoying it is. That’s how Vista started to suck.

Once the general consensus was out, we just started looking for reasons for Vista to suck more. Did a damn good job too. The reality for me is that I feel like Vista sucks, but I can’t tell you at all how it’s slowed me down at all. If anything I’ve done more on Vista than I have on any other OS.

Windows 7 isn’t out yet. But if you look around everyone loves it. I mean I’ve played with the RC, and it solid, has some nice new features etc. I think I’ll make me slightly more productive. But the major flaws people hate in Vista will be there in 7. You still wont be able to play your game from 10 years ago, and the base security measures are the same.

Windows 7 is, as far as my slightly educated mind thinks, just a giant, great update to Vista. Vista was a complete revamp. Obviously you’ll see more problems with compatibility with a revamp, than with an upgrade.

That’s where the general population will accept 7. Because everyone is either on XP or Vista now. Everything on XP or Vista will work on 7. So… no problems. No retraining for software. No new learning curves. General Population will like it. Tech nerds like it cause it allows us to tell it we’re a tech nerd, and it treats us like one… finally.

7 will be good, we will like 7, but not nessicarily because it’s 7… just because it’s time for 7.
