As I said, and I kept my word, now I’m coming with a small review of the new Microsoft’s new Operating System – Windows 7.

It is a very nice touch I can say – from the start of the installation and to the end of the time that I sped with the new system I was very pleased.

The installation of the OS lasted for about 30-35 minutes, and right away I was able to use and play with the new OS. Right after the installation has finished the Windows Updater asked me to download some of the important updates for Windows and the drivers for my hardware equipments that I have in my notebook: ATI display driver, WiFi driver, Touchpad driver, Sound…Etc…Even they were 100% functional at the first boot of the system.

After the update completed I installed Kaspersky Antivirus 2009, Codecs and I started to look at the new features. What can I say is that the new interface is brilliant. It works and it looks fantastic – the new effects, the new start menu and Taskbar…are very nice and beautyfull.

Although is just a beta OS, I can say that am really pleased with the performance. I tried to overload the system, but all I’ve got was a small hang, for about 10 seconds, and after that worked perfectly. It works almost better than the first versions of Vista without SP1 (and this Windows 7 is just a BETA). I hadn’t had a very long time to test it, but I can say that it is a good system, an important improvement for Vista…and I say that if you are able to download the beta of this Windows you can easily install it and with all my confidence you can try it because it worth it.

This is for now, but I will come with more informations and details on how the new OS reacts when I use it with Microsoft Office and Adobe Photoshop. (I think that it will do great)…and maybe I will try to play a game on it to see if there are any improvements comparing to Vista.
