Can you imagine Microsoft saying this about their next version of Windows? Of course not, and the frustrating part is that between Vista and Leopard, Vista needs more attention to its guts & innards than Leopard does.

Windows 7 will probably come out just as problematic as Vista was. It’s kind of sad to say that we’ve come to expect it with each new version. It makes me want to hug my Mini.

Uh.. yeah. Which service pack was it that didn’t offer new features, but stabilized things? Was that Vista SP1, which solved virtually none of the complaints of Vista users, or is it XP SP3, which is pretty much a hot fix roll-up?

This is the most excited I’ve been about an Apple OS release in a long time. Snow Leopard will basically be what Leopard should have been though (at least from the sounds of it).

I believe Microsoft calls these “service packs.”

They give them to all Windows users for free. It’s quite nice.
