Windows 7 is what Vista would and should have been, if they had delayed releasing something from 2005 to 2007/8.

Deja vu. Who else has been computer-using long enough to remember, first hand, people saying "Windows 98 is what Win95 would have been if
they'd delayed long enough to fix the bugs"?

Personal observation/commentary below!

For those who weren't around or paying attention to the publicly observable part of the story in 1994-95, Win95 was supposed to have come out early/mid
1994, but was delayed again and again while they tried to fix it, until marketing sprung it on the world on the Fall (October?) of 1995 (couldn't have
Win95 come out in 1996). When Win98 came out, my group of friends agreed that Win98 was Win95 with the bugs fixed. Anyone remember if Win95 was the one that
completely crashed and burned when Bill Gates was demo-ing it at some industry conference or other?
