As Windows Server 2008 R2 is a joint development effort with Windows 7 we are
aligned with the same RTM and General Availability (GA) dates.

With that - Windows Server 2008 R2 RTM code is on track to be available to
our partners sometime in the 2nd half of July.

But Windows 7 is built on the Windows Vista kernel so how are you getting
rid of Vista? Anyone who thinks that Windows 7 signals the end of Vista is
deluded. Windows 7 is Windows Vista with extra eye candy.

Yes! Also sad that Win7 is what Vista always should have been. Even
sadder that MS is making money on it twice (once by selling vista, then
again by selling Win7).

And 2 years from now people will be saying that Windows 8 is what Windows 7
should have been. You can blow this out for 20 years and people will still
think that Microsoft has no right to charge for their product!

Yes, and people like you (a.k.a. boiling frog) helped the company to move
backward whilst the majority has been moving forward. Had Vista released
even close to Windows 7 RC, most people wouldn't have had the time,
interest, or energy (other than the usual competitors) for criticizing it.

Maybe it's difficult for fanbois (and old timers) to comprehend and believe
but people don't usually hate a company such as this one, they (and we) just
hate poorly designed products and welcome those with true improvements.

Personally, I skipped Vista and already made a decision for upgrading at
least two home systems to Windows 7.

So am I a MS hater or Vista hater? I don't know but I know that I am not a
boiling frog

Two different car models can share the same car engine design (which is a
widely used model now) but that doesn't mean they are two identical cars.

It's a very shallow argument especially from someone with a tag.

And, back in the 60's, next years model would have different tail fins and a
different paint scheme - yet cost hundreds more. People bought them without
any question as a new model/version, gladly paying the difference. I saw my
parents go through this time and again.
