The article gives me the impression that the new OS is not much more than bells and whistles especially to those who use computers for activities such as writing, calculations, analyses, number crunching, graphics, reports, etc., in other words, not the media oriented audio and video features.

Despite the dancing dog (video gimmick) in Window’s Find program (search for files, etc.), that program is crap at best and doesn’t find the all the files for some searches especially when searching by substring. I use a program I wrote and a third party program. Both do a better job.

If the future is to have the OS on the internet to run a computer then I will look for a desktop or laptop based OS and I hope that Microsoft’s monopoly is ended. I am not always connected to the net when I work and forget these so called “secure” programs and operating systems. They are fairy tales. Hackers on my computer proved this in the past. Look at the periodic if not frequent reports Microsoft issues through their Windows updates stating that we need this update for greater security against this or that. We are told now that the new software is “secure” and after install the new software, we will be sent updates that “improve” security. Where is the Federal Trade Commission (FTD) when we need them?
