Awesome, the windows 7 packages also look very clean. I think they learned something from Apple about packaging. Unfortunately Microsoft's website is still a nightmare wall of hypertext.
OT but it's funny that I entered microsoft's website and I see an advertisement for a "security essentials" product. Shouldn't be the OS include those by default?
Microsoft are worried about being hit by antitrust action by regulators for abuse of their monopoly, so they offer many applications would otherwise bundle as a free download.
I'm probably out of touch with what is stylish when it comes to packaging, but in general I could probably care less what my part comes in as long as it works as advertised. Another thing is that the system requirements and other additions to the packaging is generally helpful for people. I remember my mother bought me a printer as a present and didn't know that it came without the cable.Luckily I had a spare in my basement but it still stands that people who don't really research their products or just normal people in general benefit from all the information plastered on the packaging.
