Windows 7 - it's like Longhorn, all over again
"Microsoft spent some time talking about Windows 7 (the current name for whatever comes after Vista) this week at Walt Mossberg's D conference. I knew this was coming but I'm still surprised at how they're presenting the next generation of Windows. It seems they have learned nothing from the Longhorn/Vista launch and are going to make the same mistakes all over again. That's a shame since there are so many new mistakes for them to make.

This is a real mess IMHO. I feel like I'm watching the Longhorn story all over again. It need not be this way for MSFT. If there's anyone out there in Redmond reading this, please give me a call? We need to talk. George Santayana said it best. 'Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it.'"
