What you Think of Windows 7
Product Commentary. Windows 7 Beta one might be feature complete, but it isn't spit and polish. You can find also a lot of tough edges to inflict undesired cuts.
That's my conclusion following studying Microsoft Watch reader responses about making use of Windows Vista's successor and also from using 7 during virtually three days. If you are wondering about the beta, that's offered for download until Jan. 24, these responses really should help choose whether to find out if Seven is going to be lucky to suit your needs.
GOT A Tip OR RUMOR?
I'm nonetheless discovering the beast, but allow me to share some additional impressions additional to the number of provided on Saturday: Wake-up from rest is a lot faster than Vista. That is hugely essential, simply because it affects the user's ongoing feelings about using the running system. When I say wake-up,
Office Professional 2007 Key, I do not indicate from blank display screen to desktop but to undertaking stuff. Time it will take for me to wake-up 7 and begin functioning is about the same as Mac OS X Leopard.
Internet Explorer 8 is buggier on Seven than Vista. I'm seeing all sorts of strange behavior, and there are truly frustrating difficulties using IE eight with Movable Type 4. Every time MT auto-saves, that is as well frequently, the window scrolls approximately the prime of the web page.
Microsoft has carried out a fantastic, although not yet fantastic, career adding a layer of simplicity amongst the consumer as well as the working method. Mac OS X is Unix, with command line interaction with rather considerably everything. But most consumers by no means see that layer. Similarly, Windows 7 consumer interface changes lessen complexityand that is a refreshing change.
The user interface is typical of a Windows first beta. You can find nonetheless a great deal of inconsistencies in styling and look of Windows. The UI is by no means comprehensive. What I wonder: Since beta is Ultimate, how many UI niceties, like Themes,
Office Professional Plus 2010 Key, will likely be obtainable in all Seven versions.
The number of UAC (User Account Control) pop-ups are now at an acceptable number; they're more useful and likely to be ignored less.
I have no major performance difficulties, but wonder about later betas. I do not see Welcome Center anywhere. Simply removing that function as well as the static sidebar speed boot-up and wake-up times. OK, I've said my piece, now it can be your turn.
Justin: I have been using Windows 7 for two days and so far its been actually very good. Its a lot quicker then Vista and a seems faster then Windows XP. Haven't had any incompatibility issues or crashing issues.
NKnow: Trying to get the beta on Friday was kinda frustrating. Downloaded it from an alternate site Friday night and received an activation code Saturday when they resumed downloads. Installation was a snap. It would have been nice if they had the new free security suite they're releasing this summer on it. I acquired AVG and it worked fine. I installed Acronis home image backup solution and made a restore image in case I break this thing. Notes: Posting this from a Windows 7 loaded Fujitsu Lifebook. one.5GB Ram with a 1.83GHz duo core Centrino processor. Boot time very fast. And overall the system is very responsive. All of my hardware was recognized. My wireless LAN card works flawlessly. World wide web explorer 8 beta works better on this machine now than when it had Vista Ultimate loaded. They must have optimized the code. Or maybe something I'd installed earlier caused it to dork up. I like the new toolbar and Aero Snap features.
I assume some long time Windows consumers will hate it though. People hate change... Problem areas: playing some videos from a network location causes BSOD [Blue Display screen of Death]. Playing them locally works fine...Networking just works. No muss no fuss setup. One weird thing is that I have to re-enter my credentials for access to mapped drives whenever I log in even though I told the method to remember them...If you hate Vista and are tired of XP and aren't quite ready to buy a Mac in frustration, then I believe this OS will go along way in addressing some of the things you hated in Vista...For myself I will likely be buying a seven loaded laptop when it really is released. And I'm testing 7 today at work in a VMWare guest method. If it works well there I'll probably begin rolling it out to my business end users.
John Jones: Windows seven is not significantly different than Vista. If you like Windows 7 although not Vista then you might be one of those people who dislikes Vista solely on the name. The performance of Windows 7 may well be better than that of Vista under benchmarking but the general feel in the two are indistinguishable on my test program (a Pentium 4 3GHz with 1GB RAMan older method).
Bill: Installed Windows seven 32bit on a Dell Latitude D620 with 2GB of RAM, and the technique is smoking. Installation took under 30 minutes. The startup and shutdown is the most impressive since Windows 3.1 of yesteryear. Rest mode is so responsive that I am @ shock. The new Action Center is well thought out, and I like the small tweaks like sorting Wifi connection by strongest signal. Simple but so effective. The [free] downloads of antivirus trials is a wonderful move, using Norton 360 on the laptop. The new taskbar will take a day or two to get used to it, but now it feels like and old friend. Search is operating fantastic, and the new Library feature just works. The new Device Manager is worthy addition. Homegroups made it easy to share with other computers in my house. And I love to stream music or video to my Xbox 360 using the media player. So far so very good.
smist08: When it came up and running I was rather disappointed since it looks exactly like Vista! From running it's a bit better than Vista, in that I tend to only get one UAC message when something happens (like I ask it to install a program) rather than several. Seems like a number of gratuitous UI alterations to annoy experienced users as usual. Don't like the removal of titles from the task bar icons, now its not clear what's running, and what is a quick commence icon. Added odds and ends utilities like a post it notes thingy. Removed the rather pointless side bar. Otherwise when running programs the look and act like this did on Vista. I'm running on a very plain Dell, so no fancy hardware to test,
Key Office 2010, so no driver problems. Has run for a couple of days without crashing so far (Vista would crash about every 2 days on this machine, Win2008 never ever crashed).
AndyD: I have seven installed on an old MacBook running under VMWare. The response is as expected but it appears like a slightly altered Vista. I notice that M$oft isn't bragging about anything specific, so my first reaction was "Oh! that's it?" I guess that is the future of desktop PCs wether we like it or not. Not impressed at first, but we'll see.
darryl: Upgrading to Win seven didn't work for me, but a clean install worked fine. So far no issues. I have used
Office 2007, Firefox,
Windows 7 Enterprise, Warhammer online and Steam. I was most impressed when right after the install there was a new video driver available on Windows Update and it installed without a reboot. Nevertheless deciding if I like the new taskbar in icon mode or classic mode. I truly like that you can pin apps to it. Seems regarding the very same speed as Vista, but I have a rather fast machine. E8500 8GB Ram. 64bit OS.
puppet: i acquired the blue display of [death] after about 5 hours and havnt had it since :P

I'm scouring the web and most reviews are in regards to the exact same. Sigh. Also unfortunately I'm seeing that you will find a number of bloggers having troubles (some are noted in this comment section). I was hoping for a home run, but it seems Windows 7 is merely a base hit. Bummer.
Andre Da Costa: You can read my review at the following link: www.activewin.com/reviews/previews/windows7beta/. Microsoft has carried out a genuinely very good career with this release.
notafan: Utilizing 7 since Saturday morning and not the least bit impressed since it took all with the things I do not like about Vista and made them worse. I would like to thank MS for the download saving me the money I would otherwise waste buying this abortion later. How come it reminds me of Mr. Creosote?
John: I downloaded the 32-bit beta and have had no trouble utilizing it on my aluminum MacBook with Boot Camp. As a dedicated Mac user, I nevertheless have to agree that the new taskbar/dock thingy is better than not only the old Windows taskbar, but even better than the original [Mac OS X] Dock.
Please keep the feedback coming. I will do at least one more post like this one.
