Win 7: Microsoft Gets It Right (Finally)
The operating system is fast and loaded with smart features—unlike the disastrous Vista

…Win 7 is a big deal. If you’re running Vista, you should plan to spend $120 or so for an upgrade. And if you have an older PC running Windows XP, then maybe this launch is a good excuse to think about a replacement.

The innards of Win 7 are little altered from Vista, other than offering a welcome boost in performance. It’s nice to see an operating system from Microsoft that’s less demanding of hardware resources than its predecessor. More important, Win 7 solves a large number of quirks that made Vista annoying and adds some very polished features that make the program easier to use.

I’ve been running the final version of Win 7 on my main PC since Microsoft finished the software at the end of July. My positive first impression has grown stronger as I’ve used it. There are few compatibility problems—Microsoft has delivered on the promise that if an app runs on Vista, it will run on 7—and it boots up significantly faster and performs more snappily than Vista.
