I’m liking Windows 7!

Well after a week with my new laptop and fiddling with adding my old software and such I have determined I do really like Windows 7.  Granted not all my programs will work with Windows 7 but most do have new drivers and downloads available online to make them work

So what do I like about Windows 7?

• It’s lightening fast
• The libraries are great for organization
• The Pin feature for the task bar is super cool.  1 click opens up the programs I use most, ie:  Firefox, Outlook, Music & the Explorer
• It has great little features that I can’t really explain.  Like plugging in a gadget in a USB port brings up cool stuff that I never seen on XP.
• The task bar, when hovering over, will show all windows open for that item.  Like the Firefox will show all my windows open if I hover over it then I can pick the one I want.
• The more I use Windows 7 the more I find more features I like

Things I don’t like about Windows 7 are not many.

• Windows Media Player 12 won’t rip music for MP3 players and downgrading to WP11 is not an easy task so had to find other software.
• A bit of a learning curve but really not that bad, just caught me at a bad time.
• Had a hard time finding the defrag, found it in the properties of the drive and tools area.

So from what I have read and heard I am very happy I have Windows 7 and not Vista.  Yeah!  Upgrading my computer system was not by choice but I was forced to from my own stupidity!  Oh well, I have always been slow at the upgrading of the Windows platforms, I use what I have until I have to upgrade hee hee.  I remember 3.0, ME and 2000 well!  I had only been using XP for a couple of years and again that was a forced upgrade.

Anyway, upgrading is not all bad especially if you don’t do it the minute the new product comes out as bugs and complaints haven’t been reported yet.

Would I recommend Windows 7?  Oh yeah!  Very nice design, very efficient and once learned makes sense from the organization stand point.

Til next time.
