Should Microsoft stop right where they are at with Windows 7 Build 6801? -

The reason I ask this is its as stable as a Final Release, its as fast as XP, a pleasure to use and a million times better than Vista. Build 6801 could even be released as a seperate operating system and people would be more than happy to pay for it as it really that good. All this is unlikely to happen I know so lets hope the Final Release of Windows 7 is not packed with bloatware. LUg.

Have they announced a scheduled release date yet? It seems extremely close to completion. If the final release is packed with bloatware, I m sure something like vlite will be available for Windows 7 http://www.vlite.net/ You can strip Vista down pretty good with Vlite,

No, they can t stop. There are STILL issues to resolve with vendor and even their own packages, that are gonna be streamlined in. As much as I look for improvements, I do expect MS s trend with DRM controls to be an even bigger issue with the final release. That being said- I like the idea of what they have, not sure how its gonna fly with conspiracy theorists like me....

6801 still has some compatability issues, Firefox 3 doesn t run properly, and vuze is severely unstable. With BlueBadge, some of the extras are ..... OK at best, so I think some further development is still needed.

give me one good reason to switch from XP to Vista/Windows 7? i hope windows 7 fails as well and people would use UNIX/Linux ^_ ^
