Finally something other than FF or Twitter to talk about! Crunch Gear display possible views of Window 7, the Successor of XP . Wait did I say XP? Oh I meant Corporate-won't-touch-with-a-ten-foot-pole VISTA. I bought a laptop with VISTA on it...Then promptly gave it to my wife. It overheats,shuts down and freezes... When I had Linux on it, none of these issues appeared. I put VISTA back on it so My Accountant(Ahem) can work online also. The comments given after the pics aren't favorable but I commend MSFT for try,trying and TRYING again. Clearly this is their last gasp, hopefully Corporate America will accept this one...

So DELL extends it's XP PC sells to June 30th, that's nice, delay the problem you call Vista. Honestly, I don't think they care about us the consumer. I think their problem is with the business section. Businesses currently are are buying huge amounts of vista desktops and re-imaging them with XP professional. Is MSFT counting these? I hope not. I've had customers buy a Vista laptop and then have their job tell them no support will be given to them. No internet, vpn or software so he can do his job...WOW! XP looks pretty good right now...Here's the info from Gizmodo:
