RE: Windows 7 Build 7000 Control Panel 2 (User Interface Transition from Windows XP to Windows 7)

Who is this guy and what kind of FUD is he trying to foist on the unsuspecting?? A LOT of the things that he is whining (yes I said whining and I mean it) about are NO different from XP. Talk about a snow job! He makes magicians look like amateurs with his sleight of hand and misdirection!
XP out of the box does NOT look like he is trying to portray it. In fact it looks a lot more like Windows 7 out of the box than what he is trying to portray as "normal" for XP.
With XP you get a clean desktop JUST LIKE in Windows 7. To put those "familiar" icons on the desktop, you have to customize it just like with Windows 7. As for the Start Menu, who does he think he's kidding by trying to make it look like XP comes out of the box with the Run command in place? Good grief! You have to customize the Start Menu to display the Run command just like with Windows 7.
He also says he likes the "Classic" Start Menu more than the standard XP Start Menu. Windows 7 Start Menu sure looks to me a lot more like the Classic menu than the default XP one.
This guy ought to be ashamed of himself for spreading so much mis-direction. And in my book, when you write things the way he did that make things seem completely different than they actually are, that's outright lying.
And his editor ought to be ashamed for letting this get to print.
I'd say this guy ought to be watched with a careful eye for everything else he writes and if he continues in this vein, then maybe he shouldn't be pushing so many mis-direction lies onto the unsuspecting public as "truth".
"The truth is out there" to quote a famous TV show. And out there is where it's at because it sure isn't here!
