Ordinary Joe Developer – Larry Osterman makes an “un-prodded” rambling official MSDN blog post about how Windows 7 will be on time, not crappy like Vista

I shook my head all through this news item. First there was Bill & Jerry paired in commercials. Then “I’m a PC”. Now an “un-prodded” blog post by an “ordinary” Microsoft developer (employee) has cropped up on the MSDN official blog. If we’re to believe that a Microsoft employee would write anything criticizing the upcoming Windows 7 OS then maybe you’ll believe this post was “un-prodded”. Microsoft has not announced when Windows 7 will ship, but it’s expected next year. According to ordinary developer Larry, if a feature doesn’t work then Microsoft is cutting it out rather than making a bloated mess like VIsta (my paraphrase/analysis). Full Disclosure: Rather than upgrade to Vista I bought a Mac. So I guess I’m not completely a PC although I still use a PC.
