There must be something to Win7

For all the hoop-la we see about Apple in the press recently a small announcement came from Microsoft. I use Win 7 under Fusion because 2 major business apps: MS Project and MS Visio have not and will not be converted to OSX. Luckily, the Win OS is now an excellent and stable product.

Windows has been a stable product since Vista (post-SP1). But yes, Windows 7 is pretty fantastic.
