First Look: Windows 7 Shapes Up as Microsoft’s Best OS Yet

It was disappointing for them to lead with hints that this is a "really BIG" upgrade, and then decide to only talk about things that would never justify $200.

And if they're going to make a statement like "Finally, Microsoft creates a clean, modern look that competes with Apple's finely designed Mac OS X Leopard", they need to choose screenshots that don't suggest the opposite. Start by not highlighting the bizarre new desktop backgrounds.

Best yet because it looks pretty? I had a feeling going in this review would be pointless and non-informative. I certainly wasn't disappointed there.
