Asides 
The curtain has been raised (slightly) on the next installment of Microsoft’s Windows operating system – Windows 7.
Microsoft hope it will bring the internet, mobile phone and PC closer together. But reviews have so far been mixed, although reviewers have been limited to trying the (pre-beta version).
The full version is expected to be capable of working with a touchscreen screen, navigating documents and the Web similar to Apple’s iPhone. It is officially released at the end of 2009.
“I have seen the future, and it is bleak. Windows 7, the next big version, the one that was supposed to fix everything that was wrong with Vista, is here (at least in pre-beta form), and I can now say – with some confidence – that Microsoft has once again dropped the ball.
“Overall, I’m extremely disappointed with Windows 7. Far from atoning for Vista’s sins, Windows 7 simply carries them forward, visiting them upon yet another generation. Windows 7 is no panacea. Rather, it’s just more of the same: slow, bloated, and frustrating as hell.”
“When it comes to Windows 7, Microsoft hasn’t just learned from the mistakes of Windows Vista. It has picked up a thing or two from Apple’s OS X, judging by first impressions.
“It’s not clear how big the changes are so far. If you put the beta-build of Windows 7 side-by-side with Windows Vista, you’d be hard-pressed to spot the differences. Yes, some of the icons look slightly different and there’s no sidebar, but it’s essentially still the Vista look and feel. But that changes when you start to use Windows 7.
“For a start the OS won’t nag you as much; many notifications are banished to a control panel, you get to approve icons before they show up in the system tray and Microsoft has reined in Vista’s useful but annoying UAC prompts; you can choose which ones you want to see or turn them off altogether.”
“Initially Windows 7 looks similar to Vista, but there a lot of new features that have been added. Under the skin, Microsoft has been working hard. Boot times have been reduced, and certainly the review laptop Microsoft provided has a fairly snappy boot time.
“Microsoft has been working with OEMs to improve battery life – simple things such as reducing the timer frequency can improve battery life by up to 10 per cent. The networking stack has had new diagnostics added to help users figure out exactly where the problem lies.
“So, is this all a big deal? It’s not a change to the fundamental core of Windows, and most of the improvements sound relatively small. But taken together, they seem to address many of the issues people have had for Windows. I’m looking forward to trying it out, starting this afternoon.”

All I will say is I had windows 3.1, 3.11, NT 4.0, windows 95, 98, 2000, XP, Vista and never had 95% of the problems other people had. I had windows me for 3 weeks and sent it to Microsoft to get my money back it was nothing but problems. I will be getting myself a new windows 7 pc sometime next year when USB 3.0 will be out and I cna get SSD and blue ray.

I have a free upgrade for windows 7, just waiting for them to ship it to me, anytime dell anytime

so far the only problem I can think of that Im experiencing in windows 7 is with my audigy card. I dont see any sound option for 2.1 speaker configuration in win7. has anyone else noticed a similar problem?
at 1:14 pm
i think the motto fits. its so much better than vista, it really is simplified.
at 1:14 pm

P.S.
A physical feature that Mac OS X does not have but Windows XP, Vista, Seven and Linux too have is the Blue Ray devices support !

Yes Windows 7 will probably run much faster and smoother on PC’s that had Vista installed on them because users of Vista had to buy as much resources (bigger/faster hdd, more&faster memory, better videocard/soundcard) as they could fit in the box.
So after they figured out where they screwed up with Vista fixed it and now they call it Seven.
They are proud to present the new touch screen feature, but users from Linux where already able to use such feature since 2007(as I remember) search for it.

No totally incorrect. Windows does it in the background. Please get your facts straight.
at 1:14 pm
It’s not!, unless u set it up automatically u still has to be done, they say that u should do it every week!. wewre as linux u dont need to defrag ur HDD EVER!
at 1:14 pm
I tried windows 7 (RC) and i noticed that it`s something wrong whit the sound, related to windows XP. I have hallucinations or what?
Has anyone else notice this?

MAC’s are no even a treat to M$, not even close. M$ is playing with big boys like google.
In fact Apple should be terrified of google.
Anyway… Search for Win 7 reviews. Vista was a gift from M$ to Apple. The jury is out, honeymoon with vista is ovah.
Ciao AestheticFlavor… science bless you

Uh.. You don’t need to defrag windows since vista. It is done automatically just like OSX.
