7 is finally here.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It’s been

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT size=4>After the abysmal
failure and universal hatred of Vista, Microsoft seems to have actually listened
to users and basically made 7 what Vista should have been.<SPAN

and far less annoying upgrade users were led to expect three years
ago.</FONT></P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT size=4>One of the most

been toned down to a much more reasonable level.</FONT></P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT size=4>It boots faster, has
much better support for existing hardware and is all but automatic when finding
drivers for hardware.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The upgrade

actually achieved before.</FONT></P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT size=4>A few things you can
look forward to are the new Home Group, which pulls together access to both
local and network content for easy access to videos, music, etc.; AeroPeek,

are customizable and link all your most used or favorite links or applications
together in one place.</FONT></P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT size=4>Windows 7 is not
without it’s weirdness, however.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>For instance, there is no bundled email client.<SPAN

Outlook Express (called Windows Mail in Vista) but not in 7.<SPAN

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT size=4>Another oddity is
the fact that Control Panel is still pretty wonky.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Microsoft had this right years ago and
decided to break it with Vista, and 7 carries on that sad tradition.<SPAN

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT size=4>All in all it looks
good, but I wouldn’t rush right out and buy the upgrade or a new PC to get it
just yet.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There are bound to be
some serious problems in the first few weeks.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There always are with new or radically
updated OSs.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And corporations will
likely want to do extensive testing before they roll it out, especially when the
network implementation in that environment also involves upgrading the servers
to Server 2008 R2.</FONT></P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT size=4>If Microsoft is
smart they will continue allowing XP downgrades until corporations start
migrating to 7, and I think it will be at least six months before we see that
switch.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And that assumes nothing
catastrophic happens during the roll out with home users.</FONT></P>
