"As we've noted in earlier articles, Microsoft has also
brought its best to the table with Windows 7."
the way it is talked about on ZDNet.
"Ubuntu as slick as Win7, Mac OS X"
I'm a big Linux fan, but this position is difficult to justify.
Supporting info:
Ubuntu slick on newish 2GHz Core Duo (2GB), Leopard
slow on seven year old 1.5GHz G4 (1GB) laptop. Really?
" the logical move of shut down and reboot options to the
far right of the menu; the slick new notifications system;
the seamless (finally!) integration of the Nvidia accelerated
drivers and the cleaned-up options and package install
systems."
All good, but was this all that was required to raise to Mac
OS X?
Time to take a breath and reflect.
