Windows 7 Does Anyone Care?

Windows 7 is being pushed out on October 22nd.
Does anyone really care besides the employees at Microsoft?
Has XP been a great operating system? Yes.
Was Vista...umm...uh...no? Not many IT professionals that I talked to moved to Vista.
Kind of reminds me of the Windows 98 to Windows Me upgrade that crashed thousands of PC's.
It appears that Microsoft has learned from their past mistakes and is moving towards the Windows 7 release very cautiously. Instead of including Vista in OEM machines, Microsoft has included an XP mode with the OEM software from the beginning.
Will Windows 7 drive PC sales and new applications? That's a big question in a troubled economy.

Enjoy the week!
