What's interesting is how they are looking at Apple for pointers!

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

Apple is very good at idiot-proofing their OS'.

MS needs to do something about letting the general user shoot themselves in the foot (and then crying MS sux).

This, a lot of it.

I wouldn't be upset at all if MS made most "daily" tasks a little more apple-esque. It shouldn't be that difficult to pair bluetooth devices for example.

7 took some fantastic strides in usability and UI function. I'm excited to see what 8 is going to bring.
