"Finally, A Home Run!" 2010-06-23
By J. Gaston (Highlands, NC USA)
After so many tries, Microsoft has finally hit one out-of-the-park with Windows 7!
Having been a Windows user (both professionally and at home) of MS Windows since the Windows 3.5 days (and every release since then) I appreciate the attention to user requests and code quality (I was a professional software designer-developer before retirement) that has gone into Windows 7. It is difficult to produce quality, error-free code in any system this size but Windows 7 (I upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate Edition) comes close to achieving this goal. I especially like the fact that:
1) It starts fast!
2) It's navigation features are intuitive.
3) It is more secure (without being obnoxious--as was Vista).
4) There are a great many more "helps" for users.
5) The "Update Advisor" actually tells you what to expect in making the transition.
If Microsoft has only produced an easier way to upgrade from XP then they would have rated 5 stars.
I recommned that Vista users migrate to Windows 7 as soon as possible and XP users run the upgrade advisor to determine if your computer is capable of supporting this new System. If not, it's probably time to consider replacing your computer with one that has Windows 7 installed on it...
