Consumer Opinion

I can't help but say something here.

I normally don't post on these sites but in this case I have to defend the concept that Microsoft is losing the trust of customers.

I would agree that they are still making money hand over fist but that is due to a near monopoly in the market, not due to exemplary products or customer service.

You said: "People's opinion of Windows 7 is mostly from ok to very good," Where? among IT geeks??? I never used Vista due to what I saw and heard from friends and co-workers who had it at home, and what I read about it. I think that is the general consensus among non IT geek regular PC users. Vista got such a bad wrap that Microsoft will have to pour alot of bux into advertising the changes to Windows 7 if they hope to regain consumer trust. XP has been around a while now and most regular people are quite content both at work and at home(especially during a recession) to not go out and spend close to $200.00cdn for a new operating system. I myself will be waiting a few years until the glitches are ironed out before I even take a serious look at it.

Oh and by the way, I can't speak for any other posters here, but I am gainfully employed, I am a valid consumer and my opinion does count.
