Watching Twitter tonight has taught me one thing, Phillies fans are a bunch of whiny dicks. But it's ok, every tank needs a bottom feeder.

I have Windows 7 RC1 loaded on my Mac and have to say it looks good. Not as good as OSX but far better than the pile of dog faeces called Vista.
I think so many people have had bad experiences with Vista or heard about the problems with it that there is a nervousness about committing large sums of money to Microsoft.
There still isn't that much choice about it but there is a significant ground swell against Windows now that organisations will genuinely look at alternatives. They'll probably still go Microsoft but they will be far more hesitant.
I know I did, and ended up with a Mac a couple of years ago and I cannot see myself going back. I have to run a full windows installation as a virtual machine still but I'm still at XP but I try hard to not use windows software because from a usability and readability point of view it just pales against OSX.
I'm not that much of a Mac fan boy and whilst I've avoided Vista because of 1st hand experience on other peoples machines, I'm actively looking at Windows 7 and what I see is a good operating system where they have fixed a lot of the issues with XP and Vista but it's still far behind graphically.
I can live with that if the usability is there and that I can't be sure about yet.
Only time and a shed load of money will tell!
