  • Performance is still hitormiss, At the ripe age of seven, Windows XP still performs better in some categories
  • Windows 7 is more than what Vista should have been — its where Microsoft needed to go. How much damage Vista did and whether Windows 7 is enough for people to finally abandon Windows XP are questions that nobody has the answers to right now. Ed...
