windows 7 review

Just to prove I am not just anti MS, I do look after windows systems and have 2k, XP, Vista with some running in virtualbox for testing purposes.
2k is fairly lightweight (compared to current systems) but not at the time with older hardware.
XP is still fairly good for current hardware and is 'fairly' solid now.
VISTA thankfully I rarely have to run. I would not recommend anyone using it for production, especially on laptops.

Now we come to '7' and I was expecting the worst. I haven't tried the beta's but thought I would give the RC a go, as it runs for a while before choping its own head off!
I was VERY surprised at the speed! (was expecting a VISTA in treacle) but seems to be responsive as 2k is now, boots in minutes whereas VISTA is still 'settling down' after an hour.

Anyway will report back after setting up a few apps etc.

bye for now
