Windows 7 appeared to suck memory like Vista, to consume CPU like Vista, and to have the same consumer focus....the more I dug into Windows 7, the more I saw an OS that looked and felt like a .

Is Gralla in the pocket of Redmond? Is Kennedy harboring a secret crush on Steve Jobs? Hardly. They're just approaching the same OS with different expectations. Reviewers are human, after all, and so are the people using the products. Your mileage may vary. But ultimately, it's the quality of the product that drives its success, not the quality of the reviewer.
