Could Windows 7 accomplish everything that’s expected of it? Probably not, but it makes a damn good attempt. We’ve tested the gold master, the final version going out on October 22. Upgrade without trepidation, people. With excitement, even.
Windows 7 is not quite a “Vista service pack.” It does share a lot of the core tech, and was clearly designed to fix nearly every bad thing anyone said about Vista. Which ironically puts the demon that it was trying to exorcise at its heart. What that means is that Windows 7 is what Vista should have been in the public eye—a solid OS with plenty of modern eye candy that mostly succeeds in taking Windows usability into the 21st century—but it doesn’t daringly innovate or push boundaries or smash down walls or whatever verb meets solid object metaphor you want to use, because it had a specific set of obligations to meet, courtesy of its forebear.
That said, if you’re coming from Windows XP, Windows 7 will totally feel like a revelation from the glossy future. If you’re coming from Vista, you’ll definitely go “Hey, this is much better!” Read the full article on Gizmodo.Com
Windows Vista Refunds!
Windows 7 aka as finished vista? I truly feel like I have beta tested vista since its release, yet I’m the one paying to do just that.
Ah well No more rubbish MS products for me, they can stick this and their paper clip up.
All of us who have put up with Vista for nearly its full release should be given a windows 7 Ultimate upgrade free. PLUS $100!
I agree with Evan. I hate Vista. Microsoft could care less about how much hassle I went through with that dang program. It was a nightmare. And now they actually want me to pay 120.00 bucks for a decent system that they should of released in the first place?
I reinstalled XP and I am sticking to it until all the bugs get worked out and the price drops wayyyyyy down.
We have a Macbook now too, thanks to Vista, literally drove my kid to buy a Mac. I wonder how many other people finally made the jump to Apple? I have to use a PC for work or I would of left as well.
