Life with windows 7

Well its been long since i have been using windows 7, though i still wonder why there are times when if something is not responding, it leads to a total chaos, and the whole system fails to respond, and the only way to fix it is hard booting.

I guess the killing process is screwed up somewhere. It seems like they are trying to restart properly, sort of seamlessly but that isnt working that well. Also this dwm.exe and explorer.exe, sometimes they grow and shrink on their own, i dont know whats with those two guys, trying to control the look and feel they are having a tough time.

Now getting back to features, well to be true, its a natural progression from windows vista, which was really badly recieved. Also with the fact that OSX doesnt allow legal installations on PC's , and no real big corporations planning and marketing linux, we are having nothing else. I mean there is nothing that can kill windows, even if they release crap, there are people who will feed off off it.

The true competition would be when
1. OSX is also allowed on PC's and Netbooks.
2. Ubuntu is aggresively marketed.
3. Japanese companies concentrate on building not just hardware but also software (OS i mean).
4. IBM aggresively markets and creates AIX for desktops and servers.
5. Sun solaris.
6. Google android for PC.

I guess an OS that universally works on all platforms, would be a true OS. Google has a better strategy since they built a modified version of linux for mobiles, that made them think of conserving space, and if they are able to use that OS with little modification onto PC's we have a great OS with a lower memory footprint.
