A plea to the Windows team: Don’t make Windows 7 too Mac-like
If I wanted a Mac-like environment, I’d buy a Mac. Maybe Microsoft could introduce “Windows 7 Luddite Edition” for those of us who value function over form?

Over on the jkOnTheRun blog, Kevin Tofel posted the most complete list I’ve seen of what’s in Vista Service Pack 2 (SP2) — which sounds like it is on track to RTM in April of 2009.

Microsoft puts more muscle behind its potential ‘Kumo’ search brand
