What other company besides Microsoft lets you easily create applications for free. Sure, you can't sell your Visual Studio 2008 Express apps but you sure can give them away for free. Neither MAC or Linux can provide really easy application development like Microsoft can for Windows. Windows will continue to dominate because it simply provides more.

“Best Windows version.. EVER”

;-)

But in all honesty, I’ve been using Windows 7 for a bit and have to say it is a great improvement over Vista. Many things are much better, especially with resource usage. But many of the issues, in my opinion, are because they are the Windows way of doing things.

Cheers,
Dusty
