07.11.2007Microsoft introduces Apple-like tours of Windows 7
Microsoft has introduced some product tours of Windows 7 in action, similar to Apple's guided tours. Long Zheng spotted them on Microsoft's

stars once again. According to Zheng, Kirtane was the star of Microsoft's infamous Songsmith marketing video. The Windows 7 videos have a similar
feel to those that Apple uses every time it has a new product to demonstrate. They are both informative and knowledgeable but do not come across as
purely just marketing.

Dear Microsoft, Congratulations on recently releasing the Windows 7 release candidate. As I've mentioned before, it's shaping into an
excellent product and I have given my reasons why I think people should upgrade. But let's pause for a moment and look ahead to your supposed
next version of Windows, Windows 8, since it's already in planning stages. Now that you've gotten a way to get some kind of backwards
compatibility in your OS virtually, this presents an opportunity to rebuild Windows from the ground up and turn it into an excellent product. Here are
some ideas I think should be implemented into the next version of Windows: One version, one price There's no need so different editions of
Windows.
