    When Windows 7 comes out what are you going to do about it?

    It looks like we may be seeing Windows 7 sooner than expected.

    All of my friends come to me when they need some help with their computers. Very few of them use Linux. I will finally be able to use "But I don't know anything about Windows" as an excuse to refuse to fix their broken heaps of junk.

    To be honest, I'm really not that interested. I have Jaunty on my main computer, Vista on the laptop, XP pro on another one and Xubuntu 8.1 on yet another computer. I can't think of one good reason why I need Win 7.

    So, to answer your question: I will do nothing.

    I'm not really interested either. I will be staying right here with Ubuntu.

    I'm using Vista on my desktop computer (Ubuntu on my laptop and netbook). I'm using Windows mainly for iTunes and Photoshop CS3.

    My computer works well, so I don't have any reason to change to a different version of Windows very soon. So I will wait to see the reviews and then decide if it's worth it to get it.

    Well to be sure Win7 will bne buggy with such a quick release, this could spell out the end of Microsofts desktop dominance.

    I ran the beta and it wasn't too buggy, I liked it... I'm gonna have Windows 7 on a dual boot machine for sure.

    even if it is buggy, I don't think it will be the end of dominance for Windows. I think it may push more people to stay with XP, some will migrate to Mac and to the Linux universe.
