Windows 7 and the Linux lesson
Found on The Register on Friday, 24 April 2009
OK, Ubuntu is no Windows and Microsoft will say Windows is far more complicated. It has millions more lines of code. It is far more integrated with other products and has a larger ecosystem of hardware and software that it must ensure that it works with.
However, Windows 7 was finished ages ago. Yes, we had the beta in October - but since then very little in the build appears to have changed.
Plus, Windows is so baked that Microsoft partners are already using Windows 7 on their PCs instead of Windows Vista.
If MS keeps up being so slow, it won't win market shares back. Linux is getting on more and more computers of the average John Does.
