Yes, but this time it works!

Quick little post over at BRW on the upcoming release of Windows 7. While one can’t argue with the words, one little bit has been left out. Windows 7 will work! Keep in mind here people that Windows 7 (Win7 to its mates) is the rushed-to-market replacement for Windows Vista, which was universally accepted as the most abysmal attempt at an operating system in the history of the gazillion dollar empire that is Microsoft.

We’ve been running Win7 here at the garden shed for a few months now, and I can tell you it’s actually damn good. There’s not that many new features to get excited about, but it looks good, it’s quick, and it’s stable. In fact it’s running as quick, if not quicker than Windows XP was on the same hardware (please don’t ask me for hard numbers on that folks ;)

So yes, I agree with the BRW on this one, but I’ll add that, for those of us who have suffered through Vista, Win7 is actually an exciting option. Not exciting enough to host a launch party for, mind, but definitely exciting enough to look forward to.
