80% Vaporware
Like Windows Vista, and Windows XP (on the beginning), Windows 7 will end up being 80% VAPORWARE.

Most of the promised features will be MIA and if history repeats, it won't be remotely stable/usable until at least SP2 a few years later and the delivery date will be 2+ years later than claimed.
