Windows 7 Released Early In UK

Posted by kdawson on from the getting-the-worm dept.

CNETNate writes "UK customers have been reporting that they received their copies of Windows 7 in the mail today. Currently the British postal service is threatening industrial action over pay, and planned walkouts may result in Windows 7 not being delivered on its release date. It is understood that Microsoft has agreed to let some retailers send out copies early to avoid disappointment, and to make the UK the first country in the world to have Windows 7 in customers' hands."

    That is the most important question, more than general availability.

    Vista == "Turd"

    Windows 7 == "Polished Vista" == "Polished Turd"

    Benefit? It's "Polished"!

    Seems like a simple request.

    Does it? It seems like it would require a VERY complicated answer to me.

    Since it's so simple, perhaps you could help us get started by describing your innovative OS concepts.
