You've got to remember, Windows 7 is still in it's early-alpha stages. It basically runs on top of Vista coding for testing purposes. There's really no use in debating the issue as of yet, though. We'll probably see after WinHEC 2008&2009. “Windows 7 is based on Vista, it uses the same kernel and is all set up to be compatible with Windows Vista drivers.”

Pretty odd comment in the context of your Linux rants. What happened to "I hear that ATi cards really are a problem for X-Server… hmmmm, just imagine if Windows was plagued with these problems .." “It would be ridiculous to think that Microsoft could test every device on the planet, so no, it shouldn’t be the other way around.”

"but you were suppose to be better than Vista... what happened PC?" I can’t wait to see the new ads of Windows 7 and Apple…. “but you were suppose to be better than Vista… what happened PC?”

It would be ridiculous to think that Microsoft could test every device on the planet, so no, it shouldn't be the other way around. Could it have been worded better in retrospect, perhaps, I will give you that. Maybe you’ve heard of a little thing called drivers that support hardware within the operating system.

They're not there to cater to you Bill, maybe they'll go hang out with Steve or the Penguin family of things. Stick with the 360, it's the only thing left you're good at.
