At first, I do not like Windows 7 because I am more used to Windows XP. But as days passed by, I was able to get used to it and I must say that it is far better than Windows Vista.

I really hope that they haven’t included some sort of anti alias in paint, that would ruin the whole charm!

As a former Windows user (well, I still have XP under Fusion on my Mac for one piece of software), I just have one question: Have they finally dumped the Registry?

I have heard this codenamed Blackcomb and Vienna a couple of weeks ago. I am a Windows Vista user, I want to know the difference of it from Windows 7 and the updates they made.

I have learned about a feature mentioned by Bill Gates, which was “a pervasive typing line that will recognize the sentence that the user is typing in.”

Well if the calculator was updated I hope they do not just include the paint as it is, I hope they will put some updates as well.

Calculator “conversations” ??

I can hear it now…

“Why are you punching in minus 60% ??” “Are you trying to figure out the value of your Apple Stock ??”

Windows 7 would be the correct version number. Since XP, Vista, and now W7 is built on the NT product line, references to 95, 98, and ME would not be factored into the version scheme.

Windows NT 4.0
Windows XP/2000 (5.0)
Windows Vista (6.0)
Windows 7.0

Calculators are the counterpart to “it will keep track of recipes.” Everyone knows that a calculating machine should have a calculator; Steve Jobs used to spend inordinate amounts of time showing off or mentioning calculators. But it shows a paucity of imagination to even mention it in passing given that there are a hundred million billion calculators you could install under Windows before 7. (Maybe it’s a callback to HP programmable calculator days, and programmers’ love for those things?)
