Adjust expectations accordingly.
That's sound advice for anyone holding breath for Windows 7, Randall Kennedy asserts, because the forthcoming OS will not be a panacea. Rather, Windows 7 will look a lot like Vista.
"It'll be more like an extensive Service Pack than a major new release. Big ideas and big new features are what got Microsoft into the whole "Longhorn reset" mess in the first place," Kennedy explains in Are you ready for Windows 7?
This is actually a good thing, Kennedy adds, because despite being slower than XP and having some girth issues, Vista is not fundamentally flawed.
"Windows 7 is all about shipping an incremental follow-on to Vista that shores up the NT code base once and for all."
