It's only in Beta, MS will fix it.

Red Hat Linux is going to show MS how.

Is this the year linux overtakes MS and Apple on the desktop? :)

Not likely to overtake this year, but they are making steady progress and
are crimping MS margins on the retail.

Windows 7 is regurgitated Vista, as the "Vista" brand makes Edsel look good.
They would SP3 the thing but for two reasons, first they get to bilk users
more to upgrade to sell a new version and second, they realized Vista has
severe issues that a mere service pack cannot fix.

For surfing/mail users, it works. But likely no impending reason to
upgrade. Vista is fragile if you push it hard, but most users don't so it
floats as a low end system.
