Microsoft Windows 7, it's NOT VISTA!


Okay, this is a very difficult topic for me; why? you may ask, well, I've been using Microsoft Operating systems ever since they came out with Windows 1.0 and yes I always loved upgrading to the latest and greatest Windows OS. That's until I tried Windows Vista and all my feelings were broken.

My heart is about to get some joy back, Windows 7 is on the way and it's looking pretty good. Yes it does look in most part like Vista, but many things have been polished and laid out in a very interesting way. The interface seems more robust and easier to use and few new additions like the ones added to the calculator and the taskbar will appeal (once again) to power users like me. Currently I still prefer Windows XP, obviously because it doesn't give me any issues, but I may soon opt for the newest and greatest.

I have installed Microsoft Windows 7 as a virtual machine on my Apple MacBook Pro using VMware Fusion, it was pretty much straight forward. It took me (no lies) about 10-15 minutes to setup.
