WIN 7 ... First Look

Windows 7 is a marked improvement over Vista all around, and its new features and improvemnts make it a strong competitor for Windows XP as well. I think this will help Microsoft for people using XP a reason to Upgrade.

In my opnion, Windows Vista was a significant Windows release,despite the criticism

More so it was a step forward in the evolution of the Operating System

I would not talk here about the New Windows taskbar interface, the new window management features etc . Yes they are having a slight improvement over it's predecessor which is expected. The thing that has impressed me about WIN 7 here is the

1. Quick Installation : I think this is the quickest i have seen in Windows. I opted for a Clean Install.

The Video Drives, LAN & Wireless Drives were automatically installed so it made sure i can connect to the network as soon as installed the OS. Also during the first Windows Upgrade it downloaded drivers for Sound Card & Touchpad were installed . So quiet a Pleasure there.

2. Faster : WIN 7 seemed to be best of both the worlds- Speed & GUI . Seems i using a XP onVista Interface. It just feels more natural than Vista or XP to me. It's hard to describe exactly it feels quite  smooth and  intuitive. The the Bootup; Shutdown lead times are shorter.

3. Battery  :Surprisingly it has also added a solid 20-30min to the battery life of my laptop compared to Vista.

That's For Now . I'll add more to this once i have used this more.
