I really can’t stand Dvorak, but he does have some valid points.  I think Vista (at least its current iteration) and Windows 7 are good products, but Microsoft doesn’t seem to be able to give us a reason why we need them.  Their marketing is just a failure.  They can’t generate the buzz about their products needed to make them sell.

The only real buzz that Windows 7 gets is because people had such a negative perception of Vista.  They’re just glad Win7 is something different, but in reality it’s not that different.  It’s just not Vista.
