> Windows 7 is the new XP

Win7 is a focal point of some importance: It's where developers who don't want to be pushed into app store indentured servitude join up with the Windows compatible systems, Wine and ReactOS.

Everything before Win7 is not a focal point because it's too old. Everything after Win7 is not a focal point because nobody can handle the update threadmill. By elimination, it's Win7.

Win7 is not the new XP; it's the future of stability-oriented Windows compatible computing.
