Windows 7: An Impression

My brother pleaded me to use this new operating system from Microsoft, and since I want to format my computer anyway, it wouldn't hurt to install Windows 7 first and see what happens.

When you first inserted Windows 7 RC DVD, an autorun would appear. You could install the Windows 7 or check the compability with your computer first. After that, the install would be self-explanatory. Oh, there is also a choice whether you want to upgrade from your old Windows or make a fresh installation. Either way, your old Windows data (if you are using Windows, I never tried with other OS) will be moved to windows.old folder, so you can restore your old datas if you want. It took me about 1.5-2 hours installing in my 2.2GHz Core2Duo, 2 GB RAM though.

Starting the Windows...

Home Screen

Pretty much like Vista. You can see the diffierences is mainly on the taskbar where the icons becomes smaller, so you can tag many shorcuts on it. And for performance fixes, I don't see many changes from Vista (I could understand since it's still RC), but still a good feeling using new OS though ^_^.

But supports for Windows 7 are still limited, which made me decide to revert back to my lil' ol' Vista, since all of my laptop drivers won't run in it.

For now I don't see many changes for 7 from Vista. But I hope Microsoft could invest many innovatons for 7 so it won't end with it'd please many Windows user and make them more loyal for using the OS (like me).

Go Microsoft!
