But, are they adding new features as well ? (I mean: adding new features to paint and wordpad).

"Never argue with idiots, they just drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience."
I dont think so. I mean, paint hasnt changed much. There is onky essentially 5 versions of it, the windows 3.x one, the win95 one, the NT sp3+ one, the vista one, and the win7 one. only two versions actually changed it in a visible way (other versions just included more format support and support for transparency)
And i mean, there isnt much more wordpad needs - its a general text editor, not a programmers one.

On a notebook that you take from class to class, Windows Vista is simply unacceptable since it takes at least five minutes to boot up and just about the same to shut down. I hope Windows 7 offers some drastic improvement. I could care less for silly stuff like Paint, Wordpad, Mediaplayer or Games. Those things are easy to get for free and of better quality from a number of good folks.

WIndows 7 does boot up fast, but..
everybody knows that a Mac is the best notebook for class. (Never mind if you can't afford one: what do you think student loans are for?)

And really, why would anybody want to use a computer that's supposed to be slow to boot up and shut down?
