I assume otherwise. Vista has had two service packs, whereas Vista 7 code is young and BusinessWeek wrote a whole article about Vista 7 BSoDs <Em>just a few days ago.</em> Some blogs did the same thing. Even ISVs did not have an opportunity for testing, so drivers may be a cause. They say no version of Windows should be touched before SP1. Is it really more stable? I assume otherwise.

One may point out the slightly enhanced stability, but that won't make a difference in the typical office PC scenario. And where stability is a primary concern in the first place, they already have Linux backends up and running. Number of killer features: zero, I would say.

His second Ubuntu piece was better than the first. And he knows it isn't trivia or fluff now. PR battles are won very slowly. I count it as a win these days when the press get anything right.
