Dell's New Laptop: Getting into the Innovation Game

Why would you give Windows 7 a big thumps up when it's an extension of Vista? Dell is clever to launch this laptop on XP rather than Win7. All analysts are expecting a big turnaround for Microsoft with Win7 release. Anyone who has been testing or using Win7, including me, didn't find any big difference with Win7 performance or features. Users who knew to work around Vista annoyances still applied the same changes to Win7. Win7 is technically a Service Pack 3 for Vista and nothing more. MSFT will not see much sales bounce with Win7 because corporate users are pretty happy with WinXP. Poor ignorant home users will shell out $100 to buy a Service Pack for their Vista OS. Same applies to home users who purchased Snow Leopard OS, which is a service pack for Leopard MacOS.
