For those incapable of following the train of thought, here it is...
There is no such thing as Windows 7. This is not a new code base, it is not an overhaul of Windows framework. Windows 7 is Vista Service Pack 2. The Windows 7 bullshit coming out of Microsoft's propaganda machine is a concerted and direct effort to bury the name Vista and all the bad press associated with it. That anyone has bought into this crap is astounding. Vista was several years delayed. Now we have hordes of people believing that MS got a new OS out the door in 18 months? Wake up already.

The way ZDNet and others are fawning over the beta, you'd think they were all "paided" shills or something; their getting a "tingly feeling down their leg" for Windows 7 - fawning like Chris Matthews over Obama. Jeez, get a room, guys.
