Few days ago I installed the latest version of Windows 7, Release Candidate, which is almost the final version. I must say that Microsoft has done a good job with this new Windows, but that is beside anything Vista is better for a while I was using it, installing programs, viewing changing the look and the new options, and certainly when Microsoft launches Windows 7 many users will change it.
As a Windows user I do not think it will pay a new license, we are in crisis and I am not left over pasta. I guess I stay with Windows XP or wait for some charitable soul steal Windows 7 As a user of Linux I wonder who this article entitled: How will Windows 7 effect for Linux users?
Making an artificial division of Linux users, we have the newcomers and those already taken some time. This first group that has spoken recently with Ubuntu, by the proximity and ease of use of new Linux distributions, it is quite likely to diminish or grow in a less noticeable. Generally speaking, these users have not switched to Linux because they feel identified with their ways of doing things and the free software, but because there are no Linux viruses and can be quiet and work without errors or lack of continuous stability. For the same reason, and the resulting improvements in Windows 7 themes of security and stability, many may stop using Linux. After all, in Windows you can also use free software.
The second group is supposed to use Linux because it recognizes that the philosophy of use is the right one, appreciates the freedom that is granted, and confident about the future of Linux. This group has some strong foundations and well-established ideas for Windows 7 to use and exclude Linux.
Neither issue is threatening Linux users are not changed. We are not Taliban. Let us use the freedom of choice to our advantage, consciously looking for what is useful to us, respecting others at all times. We should not sit watching customers leave Linux, do think on a scale and measure the pros and cons and choose well, for not following the crowd like a herd of sheep without seeing where they go. How do you see the picture to be presented when you exit Windows 7?
