Whilst browsing through the Direct2Dell blog I saw that Microsoft has announced the release date for Windows 7.
This has been confirmed as a tweet from the Microsoft team and on their blog.
At work I seem to be getting a reputation of being a ‘Mac guy’ because I have decent OsX knowledge but in reality I like to have a go at all the current operating systems and I certainly like to explore technology.
I have had the Windows 7 RC1 running on a home machine for a while now and I am considering installing it on a netbook as I’ve heard it works quite well with the Atom processor.
Windows 7 already seems fairly polished with only the occasional driver issue presenting itself. Microsoft have managed to get 7 in better shape than Vista in a fairly short timeframe and I think this will be a successful launch for them despite the economic conditions.
If you haven’t already tried Windows 7 I recommend downloading it and giving it a chance.
