Windows 7 is the best-looking OS out of Redmond, Wash., yet. But let's not confuse that with 'innovation,'" Michael deAgonia reports for Computerworld. "Many of these features aren't new at all, and many have been available on Mac OS X for years. While Windows 7 closes the gap with Snow Leopard, it does so only at a superficial level. At first, I was impressed with the interface changes and got caught up in the beauty of the Aero themes and ...
