Apple tablet spooks world of PCs

Tablets ahoy!

I have been hoping for a laptop for awhile and felt that many people who want to surf the web, watch media etc., don't like computers because they don't like typing. Many people who don't have computers - yes there are alot of them - are waiting for something like this.

MS can't do it. They don't have the culture or DNA to do it and so it doesn't get done - just like IBM couldn't come up with a laptop.

Apple can, does and will in the future do this. Anyone who is just a MC fanboi is simply too entrenched in legacy to understand - kinda like people who really like Buicks.

Anyway, Steve Jobs will school Steve Balmer again and everyone will be happy.

Windows 7 — It’s like Vista, only less annoying

"...their core competencies" ?!?!

Sorry, I am just amazed how little it takes to impress the Windows-literati nowadays.

"Microsoft finally mimic Apple's "preview" functionality after 4 years of trying, and it basically does less of everything that was annoying in Vista! YEAH!"

I, fortunately, am not as professionally tied to Windows as many who read this forum, and I know this can be very big for a large number of folks, but someone has to keep saying the emperor is only wearing a thong.

Celebrate Windows 7, have a drink, but if you are an IT person worth more than your MBA overlords, plan a post-Windows strategy and stop waiting for Balmer to keep you in a job.
