At PDC everyone got a Windows 7 DVD. I used it at the conference on machines that were set up for people to use and it seemed pretty good. I have an older laptop I was going to get paved to use as a back up when this one has trouble. So I thought I would try it out on that machine, nothing to lose.
I was very impressed with the easy install. I have installed pretty much every version of windows since version 3 at one time or another. I would have to say this was the quickest and most pain free ever.
After playing around with it a little (keep in mind there is very little software on it to play with so far) it's snappy. I mean really responsive.
It seems like a much better Vista rather then a new operating system.
So far I give it a big thumbs up. :)
