Windows 7 is downright amazing!

I'm going to buy 7 Ultimate when it comes out, but I have until March of next year to buy. That's when bi-hourly shut downs occur. I seriously recommend people using XP to just upgrade to 7. But if you have XP, it'll do a clean install, but it gave me an option to create a new folder called Windows.old that still have all of my remaining files that were in XP. And gamers too, Windows 7 allows DirectX 11 to be installed on any video cards that is DX 9 or 10 capable, so it's a bonus.

I don't have Windows Areo theme running since my video card doesn't support it, but from what I've seen in 7, it will probably blow my mind.

I've been running Windows 7 on my computer here at work since the early Beta release, and have been pleasantly surprised by it. It's not a whole lot of change from Vista, which is to be expected since it's essentially running on the Vista kernel. The cool thing was that even the beta of Windows 7 had fewer bugs in it than Vista did. Now I've got the RC, and it still seems to be running smoothly. I think with more software becoming available for the Vista kernel, things are running a bit smoother.

Also, Aero is pretty cool to have and see, but the novelty quickly wore off, at least on me. I do like the mouse-over previews of items on your task bar, but I never used the flip-through slide feature.

I certainly hope 7 doesn't turn out to be the flop that Vista was, and from what I'm seeing so far, it won't be.

Just got my MSDN version, so Im checking it out since its going to be on our support track for development soon. Uggg another platform change!
