Summary: Vista 7 enters the status phase of Windows Vista (as of late 2007)

SOME THINGS never change. Yesterday we posted a detailed analysis of some of the latest Vista 7 flaws (which are merely some among many more).

Microsoft apologist Adrian Kingsley-Hughes has just done that as well. He titled it "The Windows 7 honeymoon is over"

Over the past few weeks, Windows 7 has been hit by several problems, which while being high profile, may or may not only exist in the minds of the users. There’s been the battery issue, where users claim that Windows 7 is causing battery deterioration, and on top of that claims that a reliability patch released by Microsoft is actually causing problems. According to Microsoft, the battery issue is a non-issue and Windows 7 is working normally, and the company is investigating claims that the reliability patch is causing BSoDs and startup/shutdown issues.

We rarely link to Kingsley-Hughes because he is a lover of Windows. But this actually adds to the magnitude of his criticism above. This is not just some "Windows basher" tarnishing the reputation of Vista 7 in this case; it's a proponent of Windows reaching the conclusion that things are going wrong. ⬆

"Well the initial impression is how much it [Windows 7] looks like Vista. Which I think is…uh…the thing I’m not supposed to say."
