> The media at the time was talking excitedly about the launch of Microsoft Windows Vista and the new MacBook Pro.

Wouldn't Windows 7 have been the latest Windows at the time, or is this a joke calling Windows 7 just another version of Vista?

Wasn't Windows 7 a rebranding of Vista with some improvements, maybe just lipstick on a pig but still, I really don't know.

I do know I liked Win 7 way better than Vista.

"some improvements" is one of the best understatements.

It certainly was more than cosmetic, more like a complete makeover after incarceration in a health and wellness camp for a year
