I gotta say, I was about a 2-3 weeks away from the switch back to Apple after 10 years of separation. In fact, Apple was not using Intel processors when I last used their product. Because of my job, I made the switch to Windows. It was painful at first as we were then using Windows 95 in the corporate environment and for the life of me I could never understand why the corporate world used Windows after my first week using it.
I decided that if I was to stay ahead of the curve at work I should update my home computers to Windows products from the Apple platform. I wanted to be able to easily share files between work and home. (keep in mind, 11 years ago this process was much more painful than now days)
I did most of the obvious Windows upgrades over the years, 95.........98..........98SE............ME.........2000Pro.........XP Pro.............Vista..........and now finally Windows 7 Ultimate. Out of 8 different OS choices, I feel that only 3 were worth having. So now I'm wondering, was I a fool or do I chalk it up as a 'continual learning experience'? The ones that worked, worked well.........the ones that were bad, were terrible.
This all leads me forward in time to where I am today. I'm through the weekend and still test driving Windows 7.........(I'm keeping my fingers crossed) I'm getting the feeling that this upgrade is one of the 'good ones'. Usually by now, if I was going to have problems......I would have seen something pop up.
The install was even smooth for me which is one of the things in the past that made me want to put a torch to the computer. Back-ups were easy. Things feel more intuitive with this release. (Wait a minute, am I talking about Windows here?)
Maybe another day or two of this.............but again, so far, so good. I am pleasantly surprised.
Your thoughts?
