Lol download it 
I wonder if it says like double click and then install that would be funny... I for one can't make a bootable CD as I don't have an writable drive so i'd have to pay for it... unless its small enough to put on a USB or something
lol... so all the people commenting on windows 7 pirated it? lol i swear i've seen some of them say pirating is bad
EDIT: Badge i'm not sure you saw the fact that jaragon had quotes around his post... hes quoting a commenter on the article i believe

You can to an extent, at least in xp, you can uninstall programs that come pre-installed I for one uninstall almost everything that comes after the original install removes almost a gig

The point is, though, that it would be nice for a change to give the user control over whether the bloat is even installed at all.
True, its all about the stupid people isn't it

Great, you just saved about 15 cents of hard drive space.

...qualities which make it perfect for cross posting to Tom's...
Any trust I *might* have had in Mr Kennedy vanished when - in an effort to "Prove" that Windows 7's UI was garbage - he opened a bunch of Office 2007 Windows on his Server 2008 machine, then stacked them in such a way that the screen was covered in each window's ribbon interface. 
He is highly educated, and has been in the industry for ages. At one time he was a very highly respected journalist. But he's let his opinions take over his perspective and outlook. The Microsoft bashing in particular has gone far enough that apparently he doesn't see how much of a clown these kinds of articles make him out to be.
In the long run, Objective Educated Criticism is a Great Goodness for everybody. Would be nice for Mr Kennedy to return to that.
