Windows 7 Is Coming
If you’re in the market for a new PC or notebook, either for your business or for home – don’t buy it yet. Windows 7 is coming.
Why should you care? Well, because I care about you (no, really, I do), and I don’t want you to end up tearing out your hair any more than you have to, just because the machine you end up with, has the train wreck known as Vista installed on it.
Yeah, I know, I’ve heard the arguments too – Vista is fine now, yada yada yada. And you know what the funny thing is? Until I got my hands on a pre release copy of its successor, I used to say the same thing.
So what is it about Windows 7 that made me change my mind about Vista? Well, get this: it just works. Yup, that’s it – finally I think Microsft may have cracked it.
Without getting all technical on you, let’s take for example that on my test notebook, Vista’s memory usage would idle just below the 1GB mark. On the same notebook and with the same applications installed, 7 comes back in around half that. For the non-techies among you, this is good – it means that your computer is not going to be running like a three legged dog through treacle.
My wife is now using that same notebook on a daily basis; she’s no technical wizard, but I’m yet to hear of any problems in jumping from Windows XP to Windows 7. I can’t say of recommending Vista.
Microsoft have announced that Windows 7 will be released worldwide to retail on October 22nd, pricing is yet to be confirmed.
