Microsoft to avoid transparency with Windows 7

It's not an unreasonable approach, and Microsoft did get burned for actually warning the market about what it would be providing, only to have to endure the consequences of not living up to the expectations it set, but I'm not sure it can afford to go back. Stating that it will be "more careful" with Windows 7, Microsoft's representative noted:
"We know that when we talk about our plans for the next release of Windows, people take action," [Microsoft] said. "As a result, we can significantly impact our partners and our customers if we broadly share information that later changes."
Well, yes. But that's the whole point behind transparency. As Glyn notes, it's not that easy to do in practice, but it's increasingly critical in the opening 21st Century.

absolutely nothing will change! microsoft knows that they don't need to treat customers
any better because they will still sell hundreds of millions of licenses, just like with
vista.
let it be. i have been dual booting vista n xp
anybody else jump to conclusions from the subject, and presume ms were dropping the aero
theme (and all associated effects) for win7?
yes, broken promises in vista like that vista would boot in half the time of xp and run
faster. ha!
so, now they aren't promising anything.
