Windows 7 – First Take
I’ve been using Vista for the last 6 months, I must say it’s a very poorly constructed piece of software. It’s either errors, bugs, incompatibilities or the inefficient use of system resources that really bogs down your PC.
Now, I’ve downloaded and trying Windows 7 RC. Memory usage hovers at around 30-35% compared to 55-60% under Vista, Videos are playing smoother and the system is somewhat more stable than Vista. It looks promising – but lets see.

When installing the inital pieces of software, I did encounter a blue screen of death after rebooting. Windows 7 seemed to repair itself quite well after running through a diagnositc, repair and restore function.
Overall, it seems to be a better operating system in terms of stability, the UI is clean and there are small differences, such as the changes to the taskbar and the standard windows applications, calcualtor, paint etc.
That’s my first take – I’m using it as my primary PC even though not advised by Microsoft. So let’s see how things pan out. I’ll keep you all updated.
What’s you’re experience with Windows 7?
