Schultz applies that label to political figures and talk show hosts that inhabit the other side of the political spectrum and make what he regards as wacky statements. I\u2019m going to apply it to people who write about the Mac with less than a full deck.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, one tech pundit, who shall remain unnamed, wrote an article going on at length about why every personal computer user should consider upgrading to Windows 7. Although Microsoft\u2019s successor to the failed Windows Vista is primarily a refresh with some interface refinements, the writer in question seems to regard it as a revolution in computer operating systems, and he says that Snow Leopard doesn\u2019t come close.<\/p>\n<p>Understand that Windows 7 has not as yet actually been released. Those who are writing those articles are actually using public betas, or a copy of the alleged \u201cReleased To Manufacturing\u201d version, the one that supposedly went to the DVD pressing plants and PC makers to load onto their new computers.<\/p>\n<p>Without personal experience, I\u2019ll accept for the sake of argument that these preliminary versions of Windows 7 are close enough to the final version not to make a significant difference. That will help avoid any arguments on the subject, although we won\u2019t know for sure until the product is actually on sale.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Wait!
