Windows 7

Over this past weekend I installed Windows 7 (64-bit), and I have to say that it is a great upgrade from Windows Vista that nobody should be disappointed with. Even as a release candidate it is rock stable and has been able to cope and recover from many of the failing drivers I tried this weekend, with out the need for a single reboot. This is impressive, because I remember when I first tried Windows Vista as a beta almost 3 years ago, that I received blue screens left and right from faulty drivers that didn’t yet support Windows Vista. Blue screens have always really bothered me, because as a avid Windows supporter, I have heard all too often the mantra of the uneducated. ...

Many different sources are announcing that Windows 7 will have 6 different SKU’s available, and many are touting the end of Windows, because they are making the same marketing mistakes as Windows Vista. I have a different perspective on this that I will justify after the SKU breakdown. Here are the SKU’s and features that everybody is reporting: Windows 7 Starter Available worldwide to OEMs on new PCs Missing Aero UI tweaks Limited to 3 simultaneous applications Windows 7 Home Basic (Vista equivalent: $200) ...

Many people have said they don’t get these ad’s, but personally I like them.

This is pretty funny. It seems to be a story building commercial, for a future release. Possible Windows 7.
