I think windows 7 are vista with interface changed The good is are fast and I will think to replace my windows xp.
Yeah it's got some good response times for boot up and runtime features, though apparently missing a lot of old dll's for win32 apps. I soon discovered this when one of the compilers I tried to installed failed to execute. It requested dated dill's found on xp but excluded on win7. Can't wait for the 1st service pack, maybe it will save me running to microsoft support for patches..lol also doesn't help running a 64bit OP with dated software installs online, just hoping the new service pack will help.

Win7 is what Vista should have been. Vista turns out to be a huge mistake for M$. They released an inferior product and their customers rejected it. Now, it looks like MS learned a very tough lesson. /*tom*/
There are more better things to say in windows 7 except the power options which is annoying and auto wakeup feature needs some advanced options.
Win7 definitely has my vote as the best OS. It's far improved over Vista, not to mention faster. The only bad thing about it as far as i can tell is the price tag.
hi all from a support point of view it is excellent - fast, stable and xp mode virtualisation is excellent. regards
I can't help but call Windows 7 anything other than a very impressive operating system; primarily because it supports such a diverse range of computers so very well. For example, my desktop is a Sun Ultra 40, and has a pretty high end graphics card. (A nVidia Quadro FX 3450, I believe); Windows 7 takes advantage of this beautifully with it's animations and support for multiple monitors right out of the box. On the flipside, I also have a Netbook which isn't a "bad" Netbook by any means, but any device that's 2-3 lbs isn't going to have the computing muscle of a Desktop. Windows 7 is a needed relief by Microsoft to capture the Netbook market, as most users (myself incldued) were running outdated / unsupported versions of Windows (ie: XP) instead of paying for copies of Vista, meaning a loss of licensing dollars for Microsoft. While I'm an MCSE, I'm anything but a Microsoft fanboy.. still, Windows 7 does the job for me, as it's look and stability just rock! Regards, John C. Young
I am running Windows 7 64bit with 8g ram and find that I no longer am reminded that I am running 64bit. With XP, you're always being reminded because drivers dont work or some software just wasnt compatible. Vista 64 was much better, but I was still reminded that I wasnt running the main stream 32bit with incompatibility once in a while. Windows 7 64bit has never once made me wish I was running 32bit, which is nice. I will run several Virtual PCs (VPC) at the same time for software dev testing, while also running 4 or 5 Visual Studio 2008s at the same time, as well as outlook, IE, media player and stuff like that, so I am typically running at about 6 to 7g of ram usage. I've been using computers since the late 70s and can say that Windows 7-64bit does represent the best of any OS I've ever used.
Its a great system. Haven't noticed any flaws or any problems so far. Some nice, neat little features added to it from the previous system as well
