 Windows 7 is definately a step up from Vista, in my own experiences. The beta is actually quite stable, save for a few bugs here and there. I like the overall feel of the GUI better than Vista. I have no idea though, if the final release will support hardware based sound. They disabled hardware sound in Vista, effectively rendering all of the fancy onboard DSP sound cards useless, forcing us to use onboard legecy sound. Oh yeah and DRM for everyone!

Anyway, from what I have observed, Windows 7 seems to be easier on system resources than Vista. Sometimes I swear I might as well have been running 1000 instances of internet explorer because of Vista's gluttonous consumption of resources. There I go again. I hate you Vista. And if I had the chance I'd pimp slap Bill Gates till he bled for be being such a greedy monopolistic SOB. "Hey guess what? You can't have DX10 unless you spend a ridiculous amount of money on our piss poor operating system!"

Steve Jobs got the right idea finally, even though we had to twist his arm and give him a noogie to make him remove DRM from iTunes.

In all seriousness though, I do believe that Windows 7 will be a step in the right direction for Microsoft. I am just dreading what the sticker price will be.


Moral of the story? Use Linux. Its free....... and penguins are so freaking cool.
