Microsoft is officially launching Windows 7 on October 22, 2009. Guess what, it was already on the shelves for about a week in switzerland and starting yesterday in Japan. I guess Microsoft hasn't been so strict on the launch date (for instance Apple for his new Operating system Snow Leopard, they said August 28th...and wasn't available anywhere before that date).When windows Vista first came out and i've tried the beta, I've said to myself "What is this?!". I had the same feeling as when Windows 2000 came out: Bulky and heavy and full of glitches. No way it would replace windows XP. On so it was.
Now, windows 7 is here. And I have the same feeling as when Windows XP came out. The fixed some of the glitches, polished it a little and running faster. Windows 7 is indeed better!
I've installed it for the first time about 5 months ago (still in beta) and then the final version from my Microsoft Technet Subscription in August on my Netbook. The netbook is a Celeron 1.6 Ghz, 1GB of Ram. So, kind of limited. Nevertheless, it runs smoothly even on non cutting edge hardware.
To cut it short, I think this time Microsoft did it right, and we will start soon seing Professional PCs equipped with windows 7 upgrading from windows XP, since almost no business customer did a migration from XP to Vista.
If you are curious to know, what else is out there, you might want to check the Microsoft Courier device here and make sure to watch the video!
