MS hasn't learned much from Vista, it seems

they haven't learned at all. Instead of trying to make the OS as slim and slender and robust as possible, they try to blow it more up in eye candy, gimmick stuff, and other nonsense that does nothing for functionality, but eats up your computer ressources for nothing. They do not see that the OS is the better designed, the less you see it, because it is not the star of the show, but the screen on which the office or game software is projected. It should use as little ressources as possible, and remain in the background as much as possible.

If they say

"All I will say that if you are impressed by the ‘touch features’ in the iPhone, you’ll be blown away by what’s coming in Windows 7. Now if only we could convince more OEMs that Windows Touch Technology is going to drive their sales.”,

and conclude that unhappy Vista customer were only caused by

"neither Windows Vista nor Apple’s Leopard interfaces have met with universal user approval for the simple reason that Microsoft and Apple are trying too hard to emulate each other’s UI. Micorsoft tried too hard to appeal to users interested in a Mac-like experience, and Apple was too intent on making Leopard appealing to Windows switchers, my Mac-using chum posited." -

then I must say this sounds very stupid and self-deceiving, and that it is almost a threat for more damage being done in the future.

Must I start to plan skipping Windows 7 as well...?

Might prove to be difficult.
