Dead Notice

After years and years of beta/RC phases and thousands of articles, no “new feature” in a “new OS” ever comes as actual surprise. Most of the time. But everyone still writes those. Why NOT me? Just to get it out of the way – YES it does FEEL like it’s clearly faster than Vista. YES, [...]
