The best thing about Microsoft Windows 7

Unless you have been hiding under a rock, you will probably already know that Microsoft Windows 7 is released today. I have not tried Microsoft Windows 7 and to be honest, I have no intention of doing so. This is not a reflection of the quality of Microsoft products, it is just that I have no need for it.

So, for me, the best thing about the Microsoft Windows 7 release is the thought of all the cheap hardware that will soon become available as retailers try to quickly offload their "defunct" Windows Vista machines. For the average Linux user, I would imagine that there is no better time to invest in new hardware and install their OS of choice. And with the release of Ubuntu 9.10 just around the corner, the timing of the Windows 7 release could not be better!
