Windows 7 Beta is quite good. I started using it a while ago. When you keep a lot of programs open it doesn’t seem to lag. There are some nice features that Microsoft introduced into Windows 7. I found it faster and easier to use. It’s a serious improvement on vista and I think it’s a necessary one. I have written in some detail about Windows 7 Beta and my experience using it. Please take a look at it and comment on what you think. http://ketiva.com/Computers_and_Internet/my_experience_with_windows_7_using_the_beta_version1.html Because Windows 7 Beta is still so new it’s hard to know what problems it could have in the future but it looks like it’s going to be a fantastic operating system.

I started using Windows 7 Beta a few months ago and in my opinion it’s pretty good. It is much quicker and programs don't lag when you have a lot of stuff working at once. There are some cool features that Microsoft introduced into Windows 7 and I think the overall user experience is much easier and simpler now. Microsoft took Windows 7 seriously, after Vista they really had no choice. I have written extensively about my own experience using Windows 7 and I hope you can find it helpful. Please comment and let us know. http://ketiva.com/Computers_and_Internet/my_experience_with_windows_7_using_the_beta_version1.html It is still too early to know what kind of problems may come up in the future using Windows 7, but on the whole I think it will be a cool operating system.

It’s nice to have a reminder that the whole “we just don’t get it and are not hip and can’t produce promotional material that doesn’t make you cringe and pull away” thing has always been a Microsoft staple and isn’t anything new. I had completely forgotten the Jay Leno thing ever happened and it’s fitting that they choose one of the least funny comedians and most blank, uninteresting, lowest common denominator people to kick off a Microsoft operating system.

On the other hand, Balmer is at least amusing and energetic in his usual odd way. If that were to come out today, I’d think “wow, that guy is nuts and I totally want what he’s selling!”. On the other hand, the “Windows 7 Party” video would make me, if I were a Windows user at heart, cringe and format my hard drive. It’s as disconcerting as a sincere conversation about douching.
