Windows 7 Experience

Well Microsoft Windows 7 Release candidate version is here. The MS Windows 7 RC is basically the version launched after the beta release. Microsoft will be releasing the final version of Windows 7 on oct 22nd as planned. The RC version is basically a testing version released by MS. and I have recently installed it on my notebook and so far so good I haven't experienced any system errors or bugs yet :) Windows 7 is one of the best versions I've seen, comparing all windows operating systems to date. Let me share some of my experiences of using Windows 7 here.....

Install / boot times / shutdown

It's the most base of operating system functions. Install, turn on, turn off. But first impressions matter, and Microsoft made sure to give Windows 7 a nice sheen when it came to these things.In short: it's fast and lightweight, but the real performance gains can be found on netbooks and with clean installs. Otherwise there's really nothing to put Vista to shame -- though the amazing breath of fresh air a clean install provides should really set cruftware-happy vendors to a bit of soul searching.

UI enhancements

Since Windows 7 is a sort of streamlined Vista underneath -- same hardware requirements, same hardware compatibility model. For more details about hardware requirements you can always check Microsoft's Windows7 home page.

Peek At Desktop


Everybody who's used a modern operating system for more than five minutes has been met with the hassle of juggling too many windows. The Aero Peek option on the desktop seeks to alleviate some of that. Aero Peek lets you hover over a "show desktop" field in the right of the task bar and show the outlines of every window currently open.
