I have to hand it to Microsoft, they know how to market their software. That’s the only reason I can think of as to why anyone would be dumb enough to upgrade from Vista to Win 7…or from XP for that matter. It’s the same operating system! I have both Vista and Win 7. Win7 is on a newer system and Vista is on an older system. Both run at the same speed…slow. Both crash just as often. Both are resource hogs. This would have to mean that Win 7 actually runs slower if I’m getting the same performance from a newer computer. Now, keep in mind, I’m not running cutting edge hardware, but I’m not using highly sophisticated software either.

I’m always amazed how Microsoft can maintain such a level of dominance in the OS market with this kind of sub par quality. Mac has taken almost 10% market share from Microsoft. Linux is slowly on the rise. It runs at 5 times the speed using ¹⁄₃ of your resources. I’d love to see a company with enough marketing power and sheer guts to take on Goliath.
