I'm personally happy that Microsoft didn't shake things up too much with Windows 7. At it's core Vista was a good operating system, it just needed a LOT of polish. I'd almost be happier to see smaller, incremental releases of Windows (that cost less of course), just so bugs can be ironed out easier and new features can be introduced more gradually.
Some people are morning people and some people are creatures of the night. My mind is much sharper in the mornings. Most of my co-workers are better at night.
Over the years, I've tried emacs several times. Then I tried VIM, and it clicked with me. I think some people's brains click with VIM and others click with Emacs.
