go.tagjag.com – During live calls recently, the main topic of discussion was Windows 7. Ross was happy to get through, and immediately asked what he felt I think Windows 7 brings to the table for an average or intermediate computer user. I have my own opinions, of course. I’m interested in seeing what all of YOU think. So, let’s hear it! twitter.com – chris.pirillo.com

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.”

Vista Ultimate 64 is best OS I have ever used 7 is fun and faster.

everything in vista is in windows 7 just placed in a little different format windows 7 is just a way to run from virus and hackers programs just like all the other operating systems they put out they just keep upgrading to stay away from virus and hackers also its a way to sell computers everybody always wants the latest and greatest operating system vista isnt that old its no different then widows 7 just a different format and layout stick with vista its got plenty of life left in it

VMWARE > Bootcamp

You are a kid who knows nothing! your sentences barely make any sense! Are you saying vista is better or Xp? I do not care what you say XP is outdated!! it has been 8 years! just because you do not know how to handle futuristic Softwares doesn’t mean nobody else can’t. Please, continue with XP, while everyone else is ahead of you!

OMG i cant belive u didnt say eya-later
at 10:20 pm
yeah
at 10:20 pm
Yeah same, I have vista on my computer right now, and since I got it Ive had no problems. Keep in mind I am much more of a “power PC user” then the average person so maybe that’s why.
Still going to upgrade to 7 at some point in the near future.
at 10:20 pm
Chris, I’m one of the people who is ok with vista too. I never had any problems ever, first day disabled UAC and was smooth sailing after that.
Would you say it’s worth the upgrade (and I don’t have a promotional price or anything, I’m paying in full)?
at 10:21 pm
then your computer must have a low ghz processer or low ram/hard drive rpm.
xp is designed as a “light”operating system

i had some stupid issues with vista.. i have a printer. i used it with xp. then i got vista and it said that the driver wasn’t compatible with my os. then i got win7 and i can use the printer again……… uhm..
at 10:21 pm
agreed, xp was great when it was new, and it still deserved some recognition after vista came out (xp was faster) but after the release off win7 i’ll never look back again.
at 10:21 pm
I agree, I love vista
I have had no errors.
at 10:21 pm
Nice Video Chris.
at 10:21 pm
Gotta say. Windows 7 is the best Operating system I have ever used in my LIFE.
