Windows 7 Thoughts

I’m not going to spend a lot of time on this because there is “Windows 7 Overload” going on around the web right now. It’s needless too spend much time, or energy writing about it, but I do have a few thoughts to share.

First - it’s what Vista should have been in the first place. There isn’t much about it that I *don’t* like. It really doesn’t feel like Beta software at all - it’s very feature complete, and stable.

I have loaded the x64 version on my Workstation at work (yes I have a “Vista recovery plan”), so I’ll be “living in it” 8 hrs a day, 5 days a week. Hopefully I won’t find any major bugs, or show stoppers, and hopefully many others will not either so that MS can get this thing to Market ASAP!

My only gripe is here w/ my home PC. I can’t run VirtualBox (not sure why - prolly a kernel difference), and also my Gaming performance went down dramatically, but think that is due to a lack of optimized drivers. Both of these will be corrected by the RTM date.

In the meantime I’m running Windows XP 64-bit edition at home - I can’t bring myself to run Vista after tasting the sweetness that is known as Windows 7…Vista would feel like a “cheap knock-off”.

Great Job Microsoft!
