Reviews: Windows 7 will kill Linux on the desktop?

window-7-linux Microsoft released Windows 7 beta version recently. There are lot of reviews posted in the web on Windows 7. I found some of the reviews, most are given positive response to Windows 7. And some people saying that Windows 7 will kill desktop Linux.

Look at the reviews given below.

Nick Farrell is saying Windows 7 is enough to kill Linux on the desktop. 

The Linux crowd were too busy talking about their superiority on the server and ignored the desktop to the OS’s eventual doom. Windows 7 is as pretty as Apple stuff, just as easy to use, and does not treat you like a moron.

Preston Gralla is saying Why Windows 7 will kill Linux.

Now Microsoft may fear Linux on the desktop as much as it does the Mac. It’s finally taking Linux seriously as a desktop operating system, ad it has designed Windows 7 to kill it.

Ron Barrett is saying Windows 7 will crush Linux.

It looks like all the arguments (except being mad at Bill for being Rich) have been answered. Linux users have no reason to hold back anymore. Windows 7 is well placed to crush and put an end to the penguin.

Windows Vista require a good configuration of hardware, which won’t work well in low end notebooks. For this reason Acer and Asustek released their lower powered notebooks with Linux. But now no need to worry about the hardware. Windows Senior Vice President Steve Sinofsky showed off Windows 7 on his Lenovo S10 and said it used less than half of the netbook’s 1GB of RAM.

There are lot more features are present inside Window 7. We will see whether Windows 7 reduce Linux on desktop and make Windows XP users shift to it.
