■Journalist's Notes

Looking back at the history of computer operating systems, we have seen that Microsoft, the world's most creative and appealing software company, has brought us Win98. Win2000, Winxp and many other good operating experiences are enough to change the life and work habits. Nevertheless, we should correctly recognize that every innovation will mean change, and whether this change will eventually be accepted by the vast number of consumers is still two-sided. On the way forward for IT innovation, Vista's exploration is somewhat unfavorable, but it is an innovative brave spirit to dare to innovate. No matter whether Windows7 can succeed, I think this spirit is very encouraging.
