This seems to sum things up well.

Looks as though he didn't STICK to his art class...

In all fairness, his art work is just as good as Vista/Windows 7 compatibility, and far less frustrating to understand.

So what do you think of windows 7 compared to vista?

[Skuzzy]

Windows 7 is Vista, with bug fixes.  I see no reason to have a different opinion.  If anything, I feel for people who bought Vista,as they will have to pay to upgrade to Windows 7, which is nothing more than an over-glorified service pack.

Be thankful he doesn't just post numbers -- the guy is a full time scientist who has a sense of humor!


The tag line is "A webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math and language" It's well earned...here are some other recent ones:












Note that only prime numbered panels were produced for this one...and how often are you going to see prime numbers mentioned in a comic, much less Yggdrasil?

I wonder if it runs the same as Vista. With my machine at home, AIM 5.9 even lags out. It's quite sad to be honest.

Well, Microsoft is marketing that it runs better, but then again, no one has been able to duplicate what Microsoft's marketing department has claimed.

I would guess there will be improvements.  Surely they cannot make it worse.

Surely they cannot make it worse.

I'm sure they will try to.

For soem reason, Balmer really is convinced that getting away from the "Vista" name will solve all thier problems and people will just fall in love with Windows 7, because they changed the name.

Marketing at its finest.  If your product is not what it should be, then put a new name on it, change the marketing of it, and see if that will make it move.

So, they are going for the placebo effect?  Those sneaky little.....

"Oh no it's really a new OS, really....Please?  Look we can name it whatever you want, it's different.  We changed the color scheme that makes it a new OS!"
"It's faster, you just gotta think slower so it looks faster."

They broke a good thing, and it will take them till....when to find out?
