On Cloud 7!

I was excited at all the initial reviews and news that came out with regards to Windows 7, its performance and features etc. So when the RC came out on May 5th I decided to try it out myself and a few things noteworthy were:

  • The installation was a breeze with no driver problems (BTW: I installed it on my HP dv2500t laptop which I consider to be the worst in the universe)
  • The installation was complete at a quick time of approximately 45 minutes compared to the 2 hours it took me to install Vista Ultimate from scratch.
  • The User Interface was pretty much like Vista but the enhancements introduced are pretty cool! The only that I liked the most are the jump lists.
Overall I am excited about the comeback that Microsoft is making after its problems with Vista. I hope "7" turns out to be as solid as XP!

I will keep posting new stuff on Windows 7 as and when I discover new features. Stay tuned!
