For now no... but I am excited to know what Windows 7 has got to offer in its beta which of course will be discussed heavily here :) But, today I'd be installing Ubuntu Intrepid IBEX to replace my Fedora 9.

We discussed it earlier the consensus seemed to be (as with Vista before it) that the people that had the least experience with it (indeed some had never even tried it) were the most willing to say the most negative things about it. :)

Yeah even if Windows 7 doesn't break any new grounds, I would atleast expect it to be predictable. That wasn't the case with Vista. Once when I installed Alcohol 120% in friend's laptop, it started showing BSOD every time I started it due to some driver failure. He got furious on me. From then on I decided to practise caution and read personal reviews before I touch any advanced version of Windows. Till then, I am happy with SP2 :)

I can't say for sure if it is the best, but I have seen far too many Ubuntu fan boys and so, why not give it a try? I've tried fedora and OpenSUSE so far and liked both of them so far. Let me see what Ubuntu has to offer I'd be damned if I see UI like sci-fi movies. My 19inch LCD would look gorgeous then :-D

I don't get how can a poorly written, buggy, memory-leaking, BSOD-producing third-party driver is Vista's (Microsoft's) fault?

Well I love to embrace new technology and have been using windows since 3.0 and programming windows since 3.1, so I have an affinity to use ever new version that comes out. I love UI and the Windows 7 UI esp taskbar layout is nice and some of the UI features are cool, sliding etc. Like the way you can 'shake' a window to minimize/maximize. Paint improved, Word improved. So far so good, I'm going to installed VS 2008 and test for speed. Oh and explorer has been improved.

So true Johnny boy, I live a dull, sad life and the only thing I look forward to is Windows 7, my poor wife and 2 sons must hate me.
