Windows 7 begins the Inevitable Decent

I’ve been singing it’s praises for about a week but fearing all the while that by the time it reached the public it would be crippled not only by adware but by Microsoft itself.  Apparently I was correct.

Here is the first way that they are destroying Windows 7.

“This screengrab, which purports to be from a fresh Win 7 beta build number 7025, shows Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate choices. We all know that the current beta is already labeled Windows 7 Ultimate, so unless MS is going nuts with the superlatives, Ultimate does imply the availability of something "less-than-Ultimate."”

I’m sure part of the repackaging process is removing all the gravey from W7 that makes it better than Vista.  

It’s all down hill from here!
