As Windows Server 2008 R2 is a joint development effort with Windows 7 we are
aligned with the same RTM and General Availability (GA) dates.

With that - Windows Server 2008 R2 RTM code is on track to be available to
our partners sometime in the 2nd half of July.

But Windows 7 is built on the Windows Vista kernel so how are you getting
rid of Vista? Anyone who thinks that Windows 7 signals the end of Vista is
deluded. Windows 7 is Windows Vista with extra eye candy.

Sorry capin' crunch, but Vista isn't going away and one can only hope
it's you who goes away.

Yes! Also sad that Win7 is what Vista always should have been. Even
sadder that MS is making money on it twice (once by selling vista, then
again by selling Win7).

Yes, and people like you (a.k.a. boiling frog) helped the company to move
backward whilst the majority has been moving forward. Had Vista released
even close to Windows 7 RC, most people wouldn't have had the time,
interest, or energy (other than the usual competitors) for criticizing it.

Maybe it's difficult for fanbois (and old timers) to comprehend and believe
but people don't usually hate a company such as this one, they (and we) just
hate poorly designed products and welcome those with true improvements.

Personally, I skipped Vista and already made a decision for upgrading at
least two home systems to Windows 7.

So am I a MS hater or Vista hater? I don't know but I know that I am not a
boiling frog

Two different car models can share the same car engine design (which is a
widely used model now) but that doesn't mean they are two identical cars.

It's a very shallow argument especially from someone with a tag.

The mind boggles at the very thought.

I'm also amused by those who seem to think that Win7 will work on
machines that already can't handle WinV...

And, back in the 60's, next years model would have different tail fins and a
different paint scheme - yet cost hundreds more. People bought them without
any question as a new model/version, gladly paying the difference. I saw my
parents go through this time and again.

so whatever you dont understand you label as a troll.

Did you call your teachers trolls too when they were trying to teach you
a few basic things?

 

Why not since the major oil leak (networking, copying files, easy switch
network, UAC, much better hardware and software compatibility - just to name
a few) problem has been solved and it's much mature than the test model
while the engine/kernel may not be the source of the main problem(S)?

Engine/Kernel is just one determinant factors of a car/OS.
