Default Windows 7: A desktop user's take

Does Windows 7 really live up to the hype? Is it a worthwhile upgrade over Vista and XP for desktop users and enthusiasts? We took the final release of Microsoft's next operating system for a prolonged spin in order to find out.

The taskbar menu is one of the menus that feels like it was designed by an engineer and not a monkey.

the problem is most of the time situated higher up, where the analysis is done, before it reaches the implementation stage; throw in a few product managers and you get a recipe for troubles and unnecessary long development stages; it's never one man/team who's responsible for implementing a feature;

once in a while the monkeys line up correctly with the engineers and a feature is implemented the way the customer requested it, it does happen

Fire the monkeys and let the engineers do everything?

then you end up with great products that nobody will ever know about because of lack of PR
