I know, but not everyone has used a Mac recently, so I was trying to think of a more PC-centric explanation. Plus, I didn't want to say outright that Microsoft is ripping off more features from the Mac.

The only reason 7 isn't a "pile of doo-doo" for launch day drivers is because it's using the same (or close enough for end users) driver model Vista has. Microsoft didn't improve, vendors used the intervening 2 years and actually make drivers.

I still can't fathom how so many people who swore up and down Vista sucked somehow now believe 7 is some sort of heaven-sent upgrade.


believe it or not "it just works" is the metric for software most people have



if you put in the disc, install, and "it just works" it's good stuff. If you have a bunch of device driver incompatibilities or need to feed floppies for your perc2 raid or whatever then it's frustrating
