Aaron: I’m sure The VAR Guy appreciates your feedback, where ever he is at the moment.

Thanks for the quick views on Windows 7. I think the open source crowd is under estimating the new Windows.

And yes, I run Linux too but I’m hearing from loads of Microsoft partners who think the company will get back on track with Windows 7′s release.

I’m going to WPC too – but I have to say that after running Win7 on my MacBook (in Fusion) that the performance is KILLER! I think that project revenue will definitely be driven by Win7/Office 2010. And where a project starts, a managed services proposal should finish it…

Also, Win7 will be easier to support than XP by a long shot – less expense = more net revenue each month.

Love the VARGuy!
