I’m trying Windows 7
Posted: February 10th, 2009 | Author: dillweed | Filed under: uncategorized | Tags: OS, tech | 2 Comments »I installed the beta to an older AMD 64 desktop with several added devices, and it found all of the drivers without any help, and it connected wirelessly on the first boot with the correct native resolution, and …. I like it.
The new window management features are intuitive and VERY helpful. I would like to see them on my OSX 10.5.6 machine. (catch up, Apple!) It is definitely running faster than Vista at this point (on the same hardware), but I haven’t installed many apps yet. The newly simplified security management controls are much easier to understand and work through. More sections of the desktop have informative right-clickable menus and are more directly customizable than before.
I won’t say yet than I’m a fanboy, but it really does feel solid and looks pretty attractive. (giving Aqua a run) It’s obvious that they took some interface concepts from Apple while giving users more options to customize.

I hate ‘07. I have to use both at work and I guess I’m a little stuck in my ‘03 ways. It especially bugs me out when I’m using Excel which is 98% of my job!
I guess the upside is that I’ll eventually be really good at both.
i was talking about the new OS. it sounds like you’re talking about the MS-Office suite. they aren’t related except for the MS part. ; )
