Lust, gluttony, greed, anger, envy, pride, and sloth — with Microsoft's new OS, you'll find every deadly sin.
Lust: Beware Windows 7's faux-Mac experience, which may drive users to the real thing
Windows 7 inspires lust. Specifically, it arouses an unhealthy yearning for a better computing experience. If you're an IT administrator, you can see the signs easily: a lingering glance at a contractor's MacBook Pro, an iPhone in use instead of the standard-issue BlackBerry, browser histories filled with links to macworld.com articles, telltale "my other PC is a Mac" bumper stickers adorning their cubicles.
Gluttony: Windows 7's piggy requirements require a lot of hardware "food"
Windows 7 continues Vista's piggish ways with regard to RAM consumption and CPU utilization. Like its notorious predecessor Vista, Windows 7 consumes significantly more RAM than Windows XP, ostensibly to support its vastly expanded set of default services. As InfoWorld's tests have shown, this latest version of Windows begins to perform adequately only when deployed on multicore hardware, and some of its "cool" features such as the Aero UI require new graphics hardware and/or updated drivers.
although true the actually 7 deadly sins are made up BULL $#iT
Well, I wouldn't say that. I'd agree that for sure greed, gluttony, and envy are always bad things, and nothing good can come of them. The rest are more ambiguous, sometimes anger is a good thing, lust , pride can be a good thing, sloth is not so bad
Yup, you know it, I'm going to hell ... oh way, I'm here already, well that's a relief.
