Windows 7 is Microsoft’s new operating system set to make it’s debut on October 22nd.
Based on my usage over the past few months, Windows 7 is shaping up to be the best OS Microsoft has ever offered. It does more than Vista and most importantly is much easier to use. Sometimes the promise of “new and improved” turns out to be true after all!
There are real improvements in several areas.
- Faster bootup
- More intuitive user interface
- Improved data backup tools
- Improved recognition of networks and connected devices
- Support for touch screen displays
And, it takes less “horsepower” (system resources) to accomplish these things.
If you want to make the move to Windows 7, Vista users can perform an upgrade installation (i.e. you don’t have to reinstall the operating system). Windows XP users however, will have to perform a complete re-installation of the operating system, programs and data.
If you are not happy using Vista then you should consider upgrading sooner rather than later. Remember, besides the financial cost, your valuable time is involved.
Once Windows 7 is officially released on the 22nd, new PC’s will be available with Windows 7 pre-installed.
One final important note – All current XP and Vista users qualify for “upgrade” pricing. Complete product and pricing details are available at http://www.microsoftstore.com
