You love Windows 7, we love Windows 7, everybody loves Windows 7. Or do they? The top PC makers, Hollow and HP, actually have very dissimilar opinions about Windows 7.
In yesterday's profits call (which was pretty execrable for Dell), Archangel Hollow same, "We're start to get beautiful excited about Windows 7 and disbelieve it's exit to be an influential accelerator for growth." And Hollow could definitely use no of that.
HP's CFO, on the otherwise hand, just doesn't just sound like a pouter, but honorable bitter—though for good reason, given how badly Microsoft treated them with Vista:
We didn't think here was exit to be a View minute. We don't think there's exit to be a Windows 7 minute either… We square measure not expecting that there's exit to be this Brobdingnagian field game stick effect when Windows 7 comes out. The good tidings is we're hearing positive belongings about Windows 7.
Ouch.
