Considering the fact that Microsoft is now finalizing details of the release of their next operating system Windows 7, people are still finding a need for a set-up that would make them feel as if they are using XP. Human nature has us fearing new things that we are unfamiliar with and with Vista still leaving a bad taste, they are expecting the same from Windows 7. Microsoft has indeed taken the fact that there are still a lot of Windows XP’s installed out there that they have built-in an XP compatibility mode that has the look and feel of a true XP. But industry analysts that have reviewed the release candidates say this is farther form the truth for it may look and feel like XP, but it really isn’t for underneath lies a totally new operating system thrown in with some familiar features.
How will the public react to the new operating system is still anybody’s guess but previous benchmarks of the RC along with XP and Vista still had XP in the lead. The nagging UAC issue still hasn’t been addressed enough to get people to change their minds even with Microsoft saying that there is nothing wrong with their system. Microsoft may again get a whooping from the general computing public that has failed to embrace Vista as they would have wanted them to but with another gamble with Windows 7, it may be the undoing of the industry giant who also waits and jitters at the fact they can again flop their chances of re-capturing the market they once held, exclusively.
