Personally, I'm going to find things very interesting when VII actually hits the streets. Will the masses jump? Are the masses just as tired of dancing the Redmond Slide like most of us/. type folks are?
Unfortunately for Microsoft shit tends to stick, and the shit that accompanied Vista was very sticky indeed.
If the same people who avoided Vista in round one get it into their head that Windows 7 is Vista part deux, then it won't matter how much better/faster/prettier/resource-friendly (delete as applicable) it is. They'll continue to remain apathetic and stay away.
Wow. Only 66 employees? I wonder how many are actually working on products they sell?
I expect most, if not all, of the employees that are capable of finding alternative jobs will be long gone. The remaining 66 are either in golden-handcuffs or are drooling morons.
Maybe they should produce their own, reality-tv, version of "The Office" to raise extra funds...
I've read the "Memory Laid Bare" article and the 22% figure aside, what was really eye-opening was that XP with a mere 512 MB of RAM ran the benchmark suite 310 seconds faster (11% and some change) than Vista with 4GB.
I don't run Vista, but if I did, and I had 4GB of RAM, my upgrade path would be clear...

If BING was one of the attempts to "screw Google" then Microsoft are playing Pee Wee Morris to Google's Lassie.
Amongst other things, they got caught with their pants down after they paid a market company to create a fake PSP fan site a couple of years ago: http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/820/1041820/sony-fakes-psp-fan-site

... then what better time to invest heavily in a Vietnamese furniture manufacturer.
