Windows 7 Lanch Day
Posted by: theworldwidegeek Date: Thursday October 22nd 2009
Windows 7 was released today. About two years after it's predecessor, Windows Vista. There are several versions of Windows 7, Starter($199), Home Premium($219), Proffessional($299), and Ultimate($319). I already have the Windows 7 RC so I have not bought Windows 7 yet, but will probobly buy it when the RC starts to expire. Here are a few of my favorite new features in Windows 7: Windows 7 features a mode to run Windows Xp programs, called Windows Xp mode. Windows Xp mode allows users to run Windows Xp applications inside Windows 7. This is esspecially good for buisness users who run buisness programs that don't work on Windows 7 in Windows 7. Also another cool feature is the new taskbar. You can now launch applications from the taskbar. Just drag a app icon into the taskbar and you will be able to launch the app from the taskbar much like the Mac OS X Dock. When you have multiple Windows open in an application, you can just hover over the app icon in the taskbar, and it will show the windows open in that application. Those are just a few of my favorite new features in Windows 7. Overall, it think it is a great OS. I even like it better than Windows Xp. I do think it is very expensive though, but if you are like me and use your computer for hours a day, or a computer geek(or both), then I would recommend it. If all you do is surf the web, then you probobly won't notice a difference from any OS.
thanks for reading
