I’m REALLY liking the latest vs of Vista. It’s everything that Vista SHOULD HAVE BEEN, but wasn’t! But that’s what the early releases of Windows are like.
Windows7 is VISTA polished to a beautiful sheen. It’s MUCH cleaner, crisper in it’s operation, and leaner too! Leaner, meaning that it requires much less in the way of “computer hardware requirements”. This will become important to you who are buying the new NETBook style computers. They currently come configured ONLY with Window XP. The reason for that is VISTA will not run on them. The hardware demands for VISTA are greater than the NETBooks can supply. CPU speed, Memory, Hard disk sizes, are all below the requirements for the NETBooks. But….. Windows7 is LEANER!! And it WILL run on the NETBooks!
NETBooks come with Windows XP because Windows7 won’t be released for a few more months yet.
For those of you who have less of a “technical pioneer spirit” than I, don’t mess with the Release Candidate version of Window7. Wait a couple of more months before “springing” for a NETBook just yet. Probably around August, they will be selling with Windows7 pre-installed.
In the meantime, if you want to “view” what Windows7 is all about go to the following link to see a lot of amazing videos from Microsoft. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/ . I LIKE IT!!

I’ve heard the same thing about Windows 7, so I’ve decided to use it with Bootcamp on my Macbook Pro. Of course, I’ll have to wait until I’m home in a couple of weeks to download and install it. I’m sure a download that big would put me over my 5 GB cap on my Verizon account. Stupid caps. Anyway, I’ll post how well it works on Twitter when I get it done.
