Great “7”
Windows “7”, names professional right…? Yep... it is. Windows “7” is the next OS that will be launched by Microsoft by the end of 2009, hopefully! A bit of history and versions are discussed below. I have written my experience with Windows “7” in this blog.
I installed Windows “7” beta 32 bit version once it was launched that was rocking, now I am using Windows RC1 32 bit version it’s amazing!!! I am eagerly looking for the launch of “7”.
A bit more…
XP user’s have to backup their system and to install a fresh copy of OS, but the Vista users can upgrade to “7”.
RC1 was released after beta; they are closing toward the end product. The drawbacks and the feedbacks were considered seriously my Microsoft and lot of additional features were added to RC1…please check http://blogs.msdn.com/e7/archive/2009/03/13/a-few-more-changes-from-beta-to-rc.aspx to get a detailed understand about the updated RC.

How it looks to me…? Do I like that..?
I feel this version is great, so happy. It’s really faster than XP! Believe me…! I read lot of reviews and testing results from various magazines before installing it on my Dell Inspiron 1525 Lap. The version was “7” Ultimate and the configuration required for installing is much low than what it is asked for Vista Ultimate. All Normal Pc with 1 GB Ram will support this OS. I was a fan of windows XP. I used Vista few months and was not satisfied with that, so I moved back to XP. One of my friends is using Vista 64 bit version and he loves that, it might be due to his higher configuration machine. I was not interested in Vista because of its compatibility problems, high memory requirement, slow processing, etc.., so I purchased my laptop without OS and I installed XP to my Lap, original version!! I regularly used to test most of the software’s; install, work, uninstall… lol, this is a good experience but it will create problems to u r machine. I like to have an OS, which is handy, user friendly, supportive and durable. This OS almost does all those things. Even though it has most of the codes from Vista, this is good.
Installation and others….
Installation was fast and furious, boots faster than XP and fast shutdown. There is no compatibility issue with “7”. Software’s that was not working with Vista working with “7”, it accepts all the software’s. I tried using tweak, Nero 6 and many more. The most interesting thing I didn’t install any driver for my wireless. Once the installation was done I opened the new gorgeous IE 8 and started browsing, great…! I didn’t install drivers for my sound card, webcam and graphics card for my Lap, the OS supports the machine driver. It’s working far better than before. But if u want to use a 5.1 surround system u have to install the suitable driver for that. The “7” beta had a feedback link at the top of every applications; happily it is not in RC1. “7” tries to solve all the problems occurred during the process. When software was not installed properly, “7” activates its own installation, trying to reinstall the software with its minimum limitations. Once an error occurred in the system it checks the reason for the problem and tries to solve the problem. It will give out solutions; else it will get good online solutions. There are many antivirus available specially designed for “7” application. U can find that online through the Action Centre
Features and stuffs…
I have to say about IE 8, it is good. It provides good security, fast browsing. It has private window option, which can be used for checking banking details and other personal details, the things entered in private windows is never saved. If u r using many number of tabs in IE 8, if one of the tabs got stuck, the other tabs will be keep on working. This feature is a new feature; it will help us in browsing without losing all our information’s. It has features like Accelerators, Web slice, smart screen filter, but it also has some flaws. I suggest it is a must in every ones PC. My rating to IE 8 is 3.2/5. More about IE 8 in another blog. Please download and try IE8 from the following link. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/Internet-explorer/default.aspx.
Back to our “7”, Microsoft has added Action Centre with “7”, which checks the PC regularly; alerts us for updates, virus and antivirus updates. But in some cases Action Centre talks too much… but don’t worry we can shut its mouth also. I feel this is a good one to have. The media player 12 is a new arrival with this OS. As usually it is good. It had some new feature also, now playing window is small and compact, equalizers are good. It automatically synchronize all the devices connected, but it does not synchronize iPods…lol... it won’t right, unless a bond between PC and MAC.

The Ms-paint and Word pad looks good and looks more or like office package 2007. It also has sticky notes, windows media centre and lot more. The calculator and the time and date settings window in taskbar is attractive and impressive. The most attractive feature is the transparency. It is far better than Vista. The desktop is arranged neatly. The library takes cares of this. The start menu can be moved to all the sides of the screen. The icon are neatly arranged, the minimized windows can be previewed by moving the mouse pointer over that. The number of pages opened will be arranged in groups, the arranged pages can be viewed easily and can be closed during viewing itself, it’s impressive. No hassle with the pages and windows. The icons in the taskbar can be rearranged according to our need.
A bit more…
XP user’s have to backup their system and to install a fresh copy of OS, but the Vista users can upgrade to “7”.
RC1 was released after beta; they are closing toward the end product.

My “7” looks gorgeous right..? I love it… You would get a great feeling while using this OS… it’s something that can’t be explained... Please have a try….
For a good and reliable PC, have windows “7” OS, windows live, messenger, writer, photo gallery, outlook, office 2007. It would ease u r task and save time. Most people say “7” is nothing different to vista; it is partially correct and not more than 45%.
Check http://www.microsoft.com/ for latest products, don’t forget to check Microsoft Photosynth, it is amazing product, http://photosynth.net/default.aspx.

History and stuffs…
The name has a good history, pretty interesting. Blackcomb was renamed Vienna in early 2006, and again to Windows 7 in 2007. Hear what Mike Nash, Microsoft's vice-president of Windows product management said regarding the naming
“The very first release of Windows was Windows 1.0, the second was Windows 2.0, the third Windows 3.0. Here's where things get a little more complicated. Following Windows 3.0 was Windows NT which was code versioned as Windows 3.1. Then came Windows 95, which was code versioned as Windows 4.0. Then, Windows 98, 98 SE and Windows Millennium each shipped as 4.0.1998, 4.10.2222, and 4.90.3000, respectively. So we're counting all 9x versions as being 4.0. Windows 2000 code was 5.0 and then we shipped Windows XP as 5.1, even though it was a major release we didn't want to change code version numbers to maximize application compatibility. That brings us to Windows Vista, which is 6.0. So we see Windows 7 as our next logical significant release and 7th in the family of Windows releases...There's been some fodder about whether using 6.1 in the code is an indicator of the relevance of Windows 7. It is not. Windows 7 is a significant and evolutionary advancement of the client operating system. It is in every way a major effort in design, engineering and innovation. The only thing to read into the code versioning is that we are absolutely committed to making sure application compatibility is optimized for our customers [1].”
Windows Vista, the previous OS from Microsoft was build from scratch, but Windows 7 was not. Microsoft took lot of feedbacks from millions of user before developing this OS; they don’t want this OS to go wrong. As the first step Windows 7 beta was officially released on January 10. Both 32-bit and 64-bit versions were available. The build number is 7000.winmain_win7beta.081212-1400; existing installations of the beta will continue to operate until August 1, 2009. On 5 May 12, 2009, the release candidate, build tag of 7100.0.winmain_win7rc.090421-1700 was released for public my Microsoft. The RC of windows 7 can be downloaded directly from Microsoft website. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/default.aspx. The RC can be used for free till 1st of June 2010. That sounds good, but the headache will start from 1st of March, yep… really!! The system will restart once in 2 hours before months of expiry. Microsoft will notify 2 weeks before the auto shut down starts. So please mind u r system clock. But I believe, before it happens hackers will find a solution to this problem.

I believe “7” would be better than the old, gold XP and it would rock the market for sure. I love “7”, hope u will also. It would mark “7”, 4/5.
