i think MS had a too long Dev cycle with vista (not that it wasnt needed for a next generation OS which really is..)
i think as we look at past trends i think one of the main reasons vista "failed" in the begining to capture most of the market share is because MS took to long in their dev cycle and out came out a product with missing bits....
if MS delivers W7 with stability that these alpha's have... it dosent even have to be feature complete...
just a few necessary things on the desktop (i wouldnt call aero necessary but its a nice touch...lol
(maybe a First time Wizard so that users have the Choice of what to download (IM's is an example) in the beginning it would be beneficial to everyone except the server maintainers...lol
