Windows 7 - Ultimate - Day 2

So far this (Windows 7) seems like my initial experience with XP Pro when it first came out. Nothing weird. I have been going through the paces and can not find anything yet that does not work. I'm already loving the new improved taskbar. There are lots of little tweeks to the task bar that I love. The 'show desktop' feature is something I did not think I would use but I have used it several times already. By default it is placed in the bottom right corner. Hover over this button with your mouse and all open windows become transparent showing a view of the desktop. This is quite handy I must say.

Open programs shown on the taskbar can be hovered over as well to show mini windows of open items.

The only thing I have noticed is that Windows 7 does not load quite as fast as Vista did for me on start-up. Not a big difference but enough that I noticed. However, I'd take this trade-off any day if the OS is reliable as it seems to be.

So far..........still, so good.

Your thoughts?

  1. Now I must say that all 64 bit os's tend to be much more stable. 64 bit is what I would goto this time around...however the kids love the games here at home i have on the XP and Vista machines. Not sure that they will play on 64 bit, unless of course written for 32 and 64. Hower you liking the "XP Mode"? Is it available on 64 bit "7"? One more question is the "XP Mode" 64 bit since it's 64 bit "7".
