Now that all the dust has settled from the rollout of Windows 7, what do we really think?
Over all Microsoft has finally put out a pretty decent operating system, without all the bugs. We started to evaluate this product with the first Beta, which we were pleased with, and nothng has happened to change our minds about this offering from Redmond. It has been more than stable and has a lot of features that make this OS an inprovement over XP, so we highly recommend that if you are planning to upgrade, do so to take advantage of this quality product. The only caveat to upgrading is that if you are trying to do so from XP be warned that you must do a clean install rather than an upgrade, as Windows 7 will not allow you to upgrade. To make clear what a clean install is, that you must reformat your disk drive and install it fresh, which is pretty easy to do, just put in the dish and follow the prompts that take you to the screen that allows you to reformat your drive. Remember that you should copy all of your personal files and favorites in Explorer so you don't loose them and have all of your applications ready to reinstall, first. This may seem like too much work but the improvement is worth the effort!
