NobodySpecial: I don't know why the Youtube stretched the window so much, as this has never happened before with Youtube and I can't get it to embed correctly. With just a link you'll have to watch a (MS) commercial.

But the video is an inspiration not for the reason MS wants as it's advertising jingle, but because those of us who have come up with Win7 since beta now form a resistance you are reading about here that to me is heroic, brave and imminently right.

We stand for the best OS ever, one which we helped elevate to the top and don't intend to see smothered in its crib.

I personally risk the highest award in tech - the Microsoft MVP - finally pushing back against this terribly wrong turn, in defense of Win7. But to me the award is worth nothing if what attracted me to tech in the first place, Windows 7, is not given its rightful place until it has a worthy successor.

Until then this is the headquarters for Win7, where we know it best and love it passionately. And we rock!
