Windows 7 Review - It’s Time To Get Familiar - Will You skip Vista SP2?
I’ve got 2 PCs running Windows 7. They are totally different computers in that one is sort of five years old and one is positively cutting edge with all the most recent graphics cards, for example. Both run Windows 7 very well and without any errors.
The new Windows 7 Aero theme is pretty and a bit more organized and intuitive than Windows Vista Aero. Enabling the mouse gestures makes Windows 7 much nicer. This instantly clears the desktop by hiding all the open windows. The new interface also enables you to click the thumbnails of the programs that are running.
I am still worried about compatibility issues, but even the few games I have run have been no problem for Windows 7. Even the most recent Fallout three ran perfectly. Given a Windows 7 will be swiftly downloadable in the future and given the clear quality of the release surpasses that of the release exceeds that of Vista SP2 Beta, I have to ask who will bother to Vista SP2?
In addition to border rate rises in games, the internet connection scores virtually 10% higher throughput.
It’s coming fairly soon. It’s going to be good and if you’re employed in a company IT office, you will have to support it. To line up Windows 7 on Vmware, just tell vmware that you will be using Vista.
Installation is a breeze. It basically looks just like the Windows Vista installer with upgraded graphics. Like all new Windows releases, Microsoft has tried to appeal to users on the present platform. The result’s lot going on under the hood that has changed but that you won’t you are in a support situation and relealize that some of your tried and true debugging rituals no longer work.
At the least you should install a virtual machine on Vmware for familiarization.
If you have applications that need to be tested on Windows 7, the time to start that is at this time. Developers should have their beta copy very shortly.
Amazon.com is running a special on Windows 7 Pre Orders until July 11. You get at least 50% off either the Home Premium or Professional version while supplies last.
