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.”

at 6:02 pm
i have the new windows 7 on my laptop and it just runs great
at 6:02 pm
So was the vista also a fresh install? or did it have a hard-drive full of junk?
at 6:02 pm
On which system? I am running at least 10 right now…???
at 6:02 pm
It found all the drivers on my system
at 6:02 pm
you will want at least 2gb and you are best to have a more modern and faster components installed to run modern OS’s
at 6:02 pm
What about device drivers? Will I have to back those up? I use a Gateway GT5676 with ATI Radeon 3200 Graphics.
at 6:02 pm
you need to have ateast 2 gigs of ram. I just upgraded to w7 and it said that my system passed the req test, i have 8 gigs on my pc and it said that you need atleast 2 gigs. and your pc needs to be able to run aero
at 6:02 pm
What type of case are you using?
at 6:02 pm
i’m sure i read somewhere that you can hack the winsetup.dll file in the setup, so that the installation skips the RAM check stage, not too sure on the specifics though
at 6:02 pm
i don’t think i want to reformat my disk. i will just upgrade from vista.
at 6:02 pm
yes u only need 512 ram 2 install n run 7
at 6:02 pm
Ah! Win7 looks amazing I want it now but, can my PC run it with only 768MB of RAM? I have enough hard disk space and it won’t run aero. The RAM may be the only problem…
at 6:02 pm
took 15 minutes for me…
at 6:02 pm
Get an Intel X25-M SSD. My windows installed in roughly 7 minutes, and boot to desktop is straight after the animation has turned into windows logo. SSDs are truly amazing.
at 6:02 pm
The problem is I don’t have enough money for another hard drive.
at 6:02 pm
ómgh people dont learn any thing ? if you want windows 7 check out my channel ?
at 6:02 pm
I’m no techie but wouldn’t install time depend on hardware capability?
at 6:02 pm
I have 3 hard drives in mine for a total of 2tb. I make a separate partition for windows of about 50gb or so and just install my games,music etc. on my other drives. That way if I ever have to reinstall windows I just have to wipe the 50gb. Even if you were to get a new drive you could just install windows on the new drive and still keep your old one without backing anything up
at 6:02 pm
Upgrading usually takes longer to install and isn’t always as fast as a fresh install. From my experiences I usually did a fresh install of windows 1 or 2 times a year as things tend to get a bit sluggish after awhile.
at 6:02 pm
My laptop with only 4GBs RAM and 3.2GHZ Processor took only 12 mins for a full fresh install of Ultimate
at 6:02 pm
wow for some people is like 1 hours or 2 hours thanks!
at 6:02 pm
