Finally...

Well I finally got Windows 7 beta installed last night. Very easy install (So was vista and this appeared to have the same process) Microsoft finally made it easy to manage your partitions and where you want to install your OS. You can format, partition and delete partitions from the installer very easily.

I have to say Windows 7 starts way faster then Vista. I have not had a chance to run a game and benchmark it yet. (I will do GTA4 tonight since that one has a heavy system requirements.)

Overall if you have vista stick with it. W7 will give you more resources to use but visually it looks only slightly different. I plan to upgrade as I want to use as much of my system resources as possible. (Plus I have the MSFT Alumni/employee discount as well)

We will see if this helps Microsoft or not.

Windows 7 installFail

Ok Windows did not fail I failed to install it this weekend. I had good intentions but honestly did not have time. I will be trying it out very soon as from what I have seen so far in articles on it, it seems to be a very stripped down version of Vista. Honestly Microsoft is trying everything to get users to forget Vista ever existed. I use Vista 64 for my primary OS and so far it has been very stable and just fine. This will be an interesting year for technology. With the economy downswing in full effect I see hardware dropping in price and this being a software year. (this is good for the small companies and persons who what to get cheap hardware to do some really cool stuff)

Windows 7 Public Beta

Well I am planning on installing and trying out Windows 7 Beta this weekend. Should be an interesting install. I am excited to see if Microsoft can come up with an OS that gets rid of Vistas bloat but takes user experience up a notch if possible. I will post my findings once I have had a good look at the beta. If anyone is interested a link to the beta is: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/dd353205.aspx
