Microsoft executives like to affix "super" to their words. In the past, we've had "super" important, "super" cool, and "super" nicely.

I'll totally ignore Windows 7 just like I did Vista and carry on using Ubuntu, which can do so much more than Vista.

Not so Super

They need to get their asses in gear and reduce the upgrade Costs from Vista Ultimate - W7 Ultimate.

Gona break out the Jolly rodger until they price it sensibly (Preferably Free) for muppets like me who wasted money on it.

Can't please everyone

I'm happy, pre-ordered my 'full' (UK E) version of 7 Premium for £45... Can't fault it.

Umm, except for the apps, games and other software and hardware that it can't run of course...

How can Ubububu do SO much more than Windows?

When you say more... I assume you mean useful things. So what sort of things will Ubububu do for me that I cant do in Windows?
