Michael Dell Says Windows 7 Will Make You Love PCs
ruphus13 writes "In a recent talk at the Churchill Club, Michael Dell addressed several topics, including the fact that Windows 7 is poised to take advantage of the upgrade cycle. Dell has always been a strong MS OEM ally and it is now hoping to cash in again from the impending upgrades. From the post: 'Dell made plain several times that he sees the installed base of technology as very old, and sees a coming "refresh cycle" for which he has high hopes. "The latest generation of chips from Intel is strong, particularly Nehalem," he said, adding, "and Windows 7 is on its way." (The operating system arrives Oct. 22nd, although Microsoft's large-volume licensees are already getting it.) He pointed out that many business are running Windows XP, which is eight years old. "I've been using Windows 7 for a long time now," he said, "and if you get the latest processor technology and Office 2010 with it, you will love your PC again. It's a dramatic improvement."'"
I can't put my finger on it, but loving my PC seems narcissistic somehow.
It's just better.
I upgraded to windows 7 pro about a month ago (through MSDNAA) and I've even stopped using linux at home.
Mac is like a really expensive whore; Windows is like a street walker who might not have had been tested for STDs recently, Ubuntu is that nerdy chick who bought YOU a drink.

But only other nerds really have a chance with her.
If Windows 7 is just Windows Vista SP2, then what is Windows Vista SP2?
