Is there any truth to all the ads for win7 with the concept of the OS being his or her idea? If there is then i have no problem with them but i find it hard to believe that the new features and such that have made windows 7 a success came from average people. I know what Microsoft is trying to do with the ad campaign but i find it a little hard to swallow.

They talk to people, have group meetings to get ideas. Then they choose the best. So in reality everyone who made a suggestion that is now part of the OS, thinks its their idea.

I would say it is almost true....;)

They did the Public Beta test in January of 2009, and a lot of testers and I mean a lot.. of people went and downloaded the Windows 7 beta, (I was one them) and they (Microsoft) encouraged Feedback..and they received a lot of it..

So when they talk about that it was my idea, They are talking about how Microsoft let the average person try out Windows 7 which I thought was a great idea..and I do hope they continue to do the same thing with the next release of the Windows Operating System.

Pishaa,,,, I think the Alfa-Centari's might have a law suite lined up here soon against M$ for the blatant stealing of the Beta Fish Background in the Beta Windows Starter Edition.

And that was my idea :devil:
