You know Microsoft, when you setup a big Windows 7 booth across the street from the Japan Linux Symposium you're just asking for trouble.

I think he is saying "good luck" after the pathetic show by Vista. Check out his expression. Poor guy senses depair for this upgrade too.

It has my thumbs up too. I feel its the best thing since Windows XP from microsoft.

The only complaint I have is that ALL users with a valid Windows XP licence SHOULD be given access to Win XP Mode even if they have only Windows 7 Home Premium.
