Windows 7 review

Telegraph

Windows 7 is the operating system Vista should have been – it starts up relatively quickly, drivers already exist to make peripherals such as scanners and printers work with it, and it does clever things that XP, the version of Windows most people still use, just doesn’t.

The installation process took over an hour, but once up and running Windows 7’s advantages were impressive. Gathering information from 168,941 user files, settings and “programs” was time consuming for the automated installer, and so was expanding 2340MB of files. However, at least the process was clearly saying what it was doing, and made it obvious that it hadn’t in fact crashed midway through.

Check out this review of Windows 7. I’m genuinely excited about it and can’t wait to get my hands on a copy, it’s meant to be much better than Vista. It will be interesting to see what the user experience is and how it will perform on my Dell Lattitude D430 which don’t get me wrongs Windows Vista, but does cause me to sigh at times.. “Come on little laptop, you can get there…”
