In this video, Ed Bott and I riff on the upcoming Windows 7 launch, Microsoft's Apple envy and the PC value-price equation.
Among the key points:
- Ed thinks Windows 7 has some oomph on features;
- I'm not all that sure that corporations are going to upgrade that quickly;
- And we talk about Apple vs. Microsoft and the price associated with being cool. Ed yaps a little about the Apple tax.
