That which you Believe of Windows 7


Product Commentary. Windows seven Beta 1 might be characteristic full, but it is not spit and polish. You will find also a lot of rough edges to inflict unwanted cuts.
That's my conclusion right after looking at Microsoft View reader remarks about utilizing Windows Vista's successor and also from utilizing 7 throughout almost three days. If you're asking yourself about the beta,Windows 7 Key, that's available for download until Jan. 24, these remarks really should support determine whether to view if 7 is going to be lucky for you.
GOT A Suggestion OR RUMOR?
I'm nonetheless discovering the beast,Office 2007 Ultimate Key, but here are some added impressions extra to the couple of provided on Saturday: Wake-up from sleep is considerably more rapidly than Vista. This can be hugely critical, due to the fact it affects the user's ongoing feelings about employing the working system. When I say wake-up, I don't indicate from blank screen to desktop but to doing things. The time it takes for me to wake-up Seven and start doing work is in regards to the same as Mac OS X Leopard.
Internet Explorer eight is buggier on 7 than Vista. I am viewing a myriad of strange behavior, and you will find genuinely irritating troubles making use of IE eight with Movable Kind four. Each time MT auto-saves, which is as well often, the window scrolls up to the prime of the web page.

Microsoft has carried out a good, but not however great, job incorporating a layer of simplicity in between the person and the working system. Mac OS X is Unix, with command line interaction with fairly much every thing. But most users never ever see that layer. Similarly, Windows seven consumer interface adjustments reduce complexity—and that is a refreshing change.

The consumer interface is typical of a Windows first beta. There are nonetheless lots of inconsistencies in styling and look of Windows. The UI is by no means total. What I wonder: Since beta is Ultimate, how many UI niceties, like Themes, will probably be offered in all 7 versions.

The number of UAC (Person 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 issues, but wonder about later betas. I don't see Welcome Center anywhere. Simply removing that characteristic and the static sidebar speed boot-up and wake-up times. OK, I've said my piece, now it really is your turn.
Justin: I have been making use of Windows 7 for two days and so far its been truly great. Its a lot faster then Vista and a seems more rapidly 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 obtained 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 received 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. 1.5GB Ram with a 1.83GHz duo core Centrino processor. Boot time very fast. And overall the program is very responsive. All of my hardware was recognized. My wireless LAN card works flawlessly. 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 end users will hate it though. People hate change... Problem areas: playing some videos from a network location causes BSOD [Blue 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 program 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 think this OS will go along way in addressing some with the things you hated in Vista...For myself I is going to be buying a 7 loaded laptop when it can be released. And I am testing seven today at work in a VMWare guest technique. If it works well there I'll probably start rolling it out to my business users.
John Jones: Windows seven is not considerably different than Vista. If you like Windows seven although not Vista then you happen to be one of those people who dislikes Vista solely on the name. The performance of Windows seven 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 RAM—an older program).
Bill: Installed Windows 7 32bit on a Dell Latitude D620 with 2GB of RAM, as well as the program 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 fantastic move, utilizing Norton 360 on the laptop. The new taskbar normally requires a day or two to get used to it, but now it feels like and old friend. Search is functioning great, along with the new Library attribute 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 employing the media player. So far so good.
smist08: When it came up and running I was rather disappointed simply because it looks exactly like Vista! From running it really is 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 changes to annoy experienced customers as usual. Will not like the removal of titles from the task bar icons, now its not clear what's running, and what is a quick begin 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, so no driver issues. Has run for a couple of days without crashing so far (Vista would crash about each and 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 is it?" I guess this really 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, Warhammer online and Steam. I was most impressed when after the install there was a new video driver available on Windows Update and it installed without a reboot. Nonetheless deciding if I like the new taskbar in icon mode or classic mode. I truly like that you can pin apps to it. Seems concerning the same speed as Vista,Windows 7 Home Basic, but I have a rather fast machine. E8500 8GB Ram. 64bit OS.
puppet: i got the blue screen of [death] soon after about 5 hours and havnt had it since :P

I am scouring the web and most reviews are regarding the identical. Sigh. Also unfortunately I am seeing that you can 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 seven 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 accomplished a genuinely very good work with this release.
notafan: Using 7 since Saturday morning and not the least bit impressed since it took all of the things I don't 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 consumer, 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 remarks coming. I will do at least one more post like this one.
