I never thought I would appreciate a Microsoft OS, but also I never thought I'd enjoy eating my own words.
I'm typing this blog out from inside the Windows 7 beta, which is impressive...most impressive. Actually, it's much more than just impressive; I feel very comfortable using it already.
I was always an XP kinda guy since its debut. I've even dabbled in Vista as much as my stomach could handle. But W7 takes the cake. It has [most of] the ease of use of XP with the aerodynamics of Vista, all without farting on your system resources. Things open up fast. My favorite feature so far? Connecting to my home wifi signal, without opening a single window, in less than 10 seconds (the new taskbar is super elegant, too). Some of my only beefs are with the anal-retentive security (ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO OPEN THIS?!) leftovers from Vista.
All-in-all, I'm pleased to see some steps in the right direction for Microsoft. Stay tuned to this blog as I chronicle my continuing adventures in Windows 7even!
(P.S. Remember that this is just a beta version. I have it dual-booted with XP just in case there's some apocalyptic error.)
