Tom Cruise might make it look cool but productivity gains are small

So my next operating system will allow to give it the proverbial two fingers, which some might say we have been doing for years.

So I'm working with Excel 2003 or Word 2003 (the re-arranged interface for sake of it put me off Office 2007, which by what I'm told was only done to prevent patent infringement by OpenOffice)

So I have to remove my hands from the keyboard and drag my two fingers across the screen to re-position my windows? When my little mouse pointer is right between my G an H, I think not!

Less crashing and less bumph! will sell Windows 7, keep to the core components that are supported (by that I mean drivers), make sure it doesn't crash and is secure and allows downloads of everything you might also need, optimise the code so that it is small and you have yourself a winning OS, add to much bumph! (which needs to be supported) and watch OS X become the next standard. Last thing make sure Windows 7 is Windows 7, not Ultimate, not basic, not business, not home premium, i.e. have one interface.
