Like Windows Vista, Microsoft don’t have time to delay anymore. Windows XP has been on the market for the past 7 years and counting. Apple computer has been aggressively update their product line and do a very heavy marketing for their products. Ever since Microsoft released Windows XP, the most successful operating system ever, they calm down and focus on other software development like Windows Mobile and Microsoft Office. While Apple heavily worked on their little product called iPod.

GetAMac campaign by Apple has got to be one of the century advertisement campaign. That is why Microsoft cannot delay anymore to release their Windows Vista, which for most people, is not user friendly enough, not to mention the word “bugging”. While Apple still working on their GetAMac campaign and dramatically upgraded all their product line, Microsoft on the other hand is leave behind. That, is when Windows 7 kicked in to make another turnaround move for Microsoft.

I personally think Windows 7 might failed, simply because:

1. Rushing for an upgrade, even consumers has yet to use to Windows Vista
2. Dramatic change of features will piss the consumers instead
3. There will be a lot softwares not compatible with the system

Personally, I’ll be with Windows XP for the moment. I was once a Windows Vista user, however, there are little time that Windows Vista pissed me off. So far, Windows XP is the only Microsoft system that don’t crash on me, saved my anti-wrinkle cream a lot compare to Vista.

It’s been a month I did not look into Windows, until I went to Indonesia. There I have to work with Windows XP again. Which is good, then only I can compare more on both system. Anyway, I think I observed a few things in Ubuntu that Windows should also take the lead now…

Softwares installation

Ubuntu has this nice application installation that automatic download and install with only a click. That is why I can get to test a lot of softwares and uninstall in another click again. Due to the wide range of softwares there are, Windows cannot simply promise this easy installation. But listing the most popular shouldn’t be a problem. Softwares like Anti-virus, image editor/resize, computer tweak and etc should be ready with a click, since those are mostly used by Windows users.

Features, it’s either more or less

Ubuntu installed a very basic computer system, which is why it can be used by computer newbie. Windows on the other hand, install bunch of useless softwares in the system. Previously when I use Vista, I saw “Tablet” function was enabled, whereas I am using Acer Aspire which no tablet function at all. It is just wasting the resources. Even though Windows has so many packages, I don’t know why Microsoft don’t want to go focus a little bit on their products.

Well, have to take a walk here now Been on trip for a month now, still feel like to be outside, well, should also get some diet supplements since I just gain another 4kg since the month in Indonesia. Dammit!
