Clive Longbottom has got his hands on Windows 7. So what does he think: Microsoft saviour or Vista all over again? Read on…
I've spent the last couple of days with Windows 7. The experience brings to mind that famous phrase: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times".
Windows 7 became available for IT professionals subscribing to Microsoft's TechNet on 6 August, and, for a change, Microsoft had sized its servers so that people could download the operating system without everything grinding to a halt.
I've been running various versions of Windows 7 on a couple of laptops for some time, and have been reasonably impressed with its overall look, feel and response, as well as the fact that it actually runs the majority of applications I threw at it.
