There have been a few open letters to Microsoft after last week’s small Windows 7 disclosure at All Things Digital. Last week Rob Bushway wrote, "Mr. Gates, The Tablet PC Community needs to talk with you," after concerns about users giving up on features because of mobility issues (power, wireless, battery issues). Today, James Kendrick wrote an open letter to Microsoft about Windows’ needing to attend to the ways the majority of people use PCs today — relying on battery power and portability. "…the days of bloated system code are over," James wrote, as he too described power management issues like sleep / resume are too oriented toward stationary PCs and need to be more focused on mobility.
There have been others too. All thoughtful in their own way. Mobile PCs are the accepted standard and it looks like the community is willing to help prioritize features.
