Ars Technica has quite an in-depth and somewhat scathing review of Windows 7 that is attracting a lot of heated debate from the Windows fanboys, and some Mac fans too!
I just noticed that you have to buy the most expensive Ultimate version to even get access to language packs!!! In other words, if you buy an English version, you can't make it run in French or perhaps even different variants of English?

Standard M$ m.o.: squeezing every last buck out of their users. In counterpoint to the real state-of-the-art OS, which sells for US$ 29, and contains all language packs...

Right, and in order to run OS X on the state-of-the-art computer, you would need a Mac Pro. I don't understand why people keep comparing the cost of Windows vs. OS X. Microsoft makes software and Apple makes hardware where OS X is really a freebie. Microsoft has different versions of Windows just like Apple has different line-up of Mac. This is very basic economy - features segmentation for the targetted market.

Windows 7 is Vista R2. Ars Technica nails it.
