    After using Windows 7 for a few days, I have a very strong impression of my Windows 7 experience that I am using a more stable, faster but cosmetically ugly Vista, so I'd call it Vista II.

    The larger icons on the taskbar should remain 2-D, with round-corner edges still? I can't believe it!

    One of the best feature on Mac, I mean allowing Windows to be run, is still not available on native Windows machines, making me changing my mind for my next notebook/desktop replacement a Mac one. And the fantistic multi-touch mouse, it's so cool.

    After years of taming Vista and the XP Prof working together steadily, I see no urge to convert them to Windows 7, and since the next machine would be a Mac, I don't know when I could have a new PC/notebook with Windows 7 native. And you?

    For the typical user with a working pc - there is NO need to move to Windows 7.

    And if you like MACS - long live the power of freedom choice.

    Those darn large icons will make you do all sorts of crazy things.

    Well, Mac will still be a minority bot in my family, but since everybody has no more reading texts from a PC/notebook (changed to iPhone/iPod touch for email/SMS/messages/twitties...) now, the PC/notebook utilization dropped to less than 30% of time use. My router stat shows that the major bandwidth use on PC/notebook are patches download on PC.

    Having said that, the major applications on Mac would be running on XP Pro virtualization.
