Windows 7 is nothing but pure awesome.

Okay so whilst I don’t work for Microsoft I just can’t describe how good Windows 7 is.

I always thought Windows Vista got a bit of a harsh rap (worked fine for me) except the performance was pretty bad.  Apart from that I actually really liked Windows Vista.

Windows 7 is just Windows Vista except faster and even better – Super Taskbar is pretty cool (took a little adjusting) as is IE8.

What I do dislike about it though is Live Messenger when you click the “X” closes instead of minimising though there’s a work around for that and the show desktop button is in a strange place.  I have a bad habbit of “throwing” my mouse cursor to the bottom right of the screen when I’m not using it like if I was to say watch a movie it’ll just end up down there and then my movie dissapears.  I can turn it off (right click, untick preview) so the button still works it just loses it’s “on hover” effect but I figure over time I’ll adjust and unlearn this behaviour.

All in all though I’ve been using it since the beta was released and have upgraded my home machine and work laptop to Windows 7 RC and am thorougly happy with the experience – I’m actually making a laptop image now so I can reimage some of the machines at work.
