Windows 7 benchmarking

How unbelievably stupid is it to benchmark an unfinished OS?  I mean to say that W7 is a dead end OS because “I bench-marked it and it a huge resource hog.  I mean it’s basically lipstick on a pig.  It is Vista with a new coat of paint.” These statements are very frustrating and truly dumb.  W7 is still in alpha for crying out loud.  Not even Beta.  ALPHA!  Reputable journals are saying this trash, its unbelievable.

Look, I can understand people being frustrated with MS after the whole Vista debacle, but seriously just give them an opportunity with this new OS before you bash it in the ground too.  I’m not trying to defend MS. Truthfully I think they better pull out the big guns with this one, or they are in for a world of hurt, at least on the OS side of things.  But the fact is that all OS’s suck in their own special way.  You’ll never have an OS that does 100% of what you want 100% of the time, unless you are smart enough to start from scratch or may start with the Linux kernel and go from there, and that’s only like 0.0001% of the world’s population.  So, get over it.  Mac fanboys are just idiots and Windows diehards are equally as dumb.  The best OS for you is the one you know how to use.

I’m not sure how I jumped off into this subject but while I’m here let me go ahead and say my peace.  For me and my money I’ll buy a PC every time, simply because I can put Windows or Linux on it for a fraction of the price that Apple wants to charge me for the same thing with a shiny wrapper.  Don’t get me wrong I’ve used my fair share of Macs and it’s a darn good OS, for that matter so is Windows, but you are comparing two completely different things.  Like apples to oranges.  Both taste good, but if you bite into an apple expecting an orange then you are going to be disappointed.  (The first person to comment about rotten apples or sour oranges will be banned from the internets.)
