Isn’t it funny how history repeats itself.

There has been lots of talk recently about how some leaked screenshots of windows 7 look remarkably like Vista.

Many are saying windows 7 will provide performance, reliability, and stability that Vista lacks… but little else.

You might almost say Windows 7 will be what Vista should have been (or maybe windows 7 is more like Vista SP2).

It all sounds remarkably like move from Windows 98 to Windows 98SE.

I remember at that time, those that purchased Windows 98 felt cheated, as they needed to pay (again) to get what they wanted in the first place.

If history repeats, then we can look forward to Windows 8 (which might be like windows ME: yuck!)… and finally Windows 9 will be the equivalent of XP.

There is a little voice in my head that’s saying: “Microsoft are digging themselves into a hole”
