firstly i have to say, holy shit Don you've like taken over this blog haha you really loaded the posts i haven't got to reading them so I will in a sec now onto Windows 7.
Well finally the public beta is out and working and although i had the pre-beta on my computers at work, they changed some things since then but i'll talk about it as though its the first time i've ever seen it.
I'm very impressed overall with Windows 7, it seems to perform very well and has a swell of personalization features, and settings that we're not available in Vista. Speaking of Vista though this really doesn't feel much of a new operating system as much as its just an update from Vista, kind of like Win 98 took over Win 95, they looked a like but there were a few key features that separated them.
I feel that Windows 7 is kind of the bridge between Vista and XP which is apparently what most people are looking for, its compatible with almost anything if not naturally you can set it in compatibility mode (which I had to do to install GTA4 PC).
One of the really nice features is the quick preview and the way the task bar is now laid out, the quick preview allows you to hover over the window you are interested in, and it makes that window the active window then when your done you move the mouse off the task on the task bar and all your windows re-open, or you can click on it to open it. As well having a jump to desktop button in the bottom right corner is nice.
All in all very impressed and I think windows 7 is the version of windows that people are going to start upgrading too and you can be sure my mac will /is bootcamped with this one.
