[...] you remember how I blogged wondering if there was going to be fanfare for the Windows 7 launch? Well, there are no Microsoft stores near me. The neighborhood Best Buy will not have any launch [...]

I’m from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. Would you like to report on how Microsoft is marketing to Latvians?

Maybe the “quid” of the subject is: Is not a matter of “what is the best”, or “I am a fanatic of this”, or “the other stuff I do not use is crap”.

In my experience (using, offering, selling, installing and managing IT stuff since 1987), an Operative System is only an interface between the man or the applications and the hardware. No a thing more or les.

To get a flag and to “tell the word of the lord” about a brand or a particular product, is not a good way to use or teach anything.

Do you decide to use something? The first reason should be “because is the most switeable option fot me”, and never “because is the most fancy” or “because I am afraid about what the others will think about me”.

In my case, after all the hard facts about the very bad quality of one brand, I decide to use another option. If someone ask me why, I only answer with the facts of my experience (not rumors or “things that has been bublished in somewhere”) and show the hard facts of the product.

Maybe we must to ask to ourselfs… Is this the best option to me for the activity I want to realize with my computer?

To be a fanatic of anything is not a good reason or a wise way to be.

With My Very Best Regards

Microsoft may not have that type of community revolving around the operating system. It’s probably different in regards to gaming consoles where there are many fans for each manufacturer (and yet, all just as bad as each other).

Anyone that interested in the Windows 7 release could be already using it.

Do fans of other products speak of attending the Windows 7 release? Maybe the Ubuntu community plans on handing out Installation CDs. Do ironic tshirts explode when a critical mass is reached?
