Every new iteration of the Microsoft operating system is touted to be faster, better and more stable. And after it's out for a while, we find out it falls short in all 3 areas. Windows 7 is in line to be more of the same. It was supposed to be faster, but I've read that the increase in speed is an insignificant 5%. Five percent???!!! Microsoft still doesn't get it. This is another piece of bloatware. My message to those of you who write about this stuff - stop giving Microsoft a free pass.
