Finally, it seems like Microsoft has gotten something right. 
Now, if you remember from before when Microsoft revealed the new user interface of 7, I’m sure you were impressed, as was I. However, it seems that it’s not just looks they’ve been working on, but performance. Right now I’m starting to think that at these current rates, Microsoft really could get Windows working well, and could even possibly get some Mac switchers back.
Now, ZDNet has been testing the OS for the one thing that matters: Real world performance. While benchmarks are usually frowned upon by Microsoft on their beta OSes, this time it actually looks very fast, and it makes you wonder if the release version could be even better, considering that even though it’s a beta version, it already outperforms XP and Vista even in install times, which is rare in the beta stage.
Basically, Microsoft is now telling users to let their Zune’s batteries run out, and then just restart them after noon on January 1. Thing is, many sites are reporting this as a fix, however it isn’t. All this is doing is waiting out the conditions that caused the bug. If Microsoft does not issue a complete fix, then the problem will repeat in 4 years time.
In fact, the car they will be showcasing will be released in 2010. So what does it do? Full collision warning plus full auto break, as well as pedestrian detection.
Maybe this shows that open source browsers such as Firefox or even commercial browsers such as Opera finally have a chance.
It also points out a very good blog post by Andrew Min which suggests:
