I took it upon myself to 'redo' my wife's laptop using the Windows 7 Release Candidate. Took the steps to backup all the data and then formatted the system. Once Loaded, Win7 really, really is impressive. The OS found all the drivers for the system, so I didn't have to go scrounging for them. The plug and play was seamless, meaning it loaded the camera my wife uses without question or hassle. After loading Open Office and Mozilla Thunderbird (Win7 RC has no built in email client)she was underway. Now the true test you may ask. Not one complaint regarding speed, or drivers or web implementing. She was able to remote connect to her office and work without so much as a peep. Impressive indeed. I actually am looking forward to next years official release of Win7, which means I have to redo all my systems, again. Frick! :) So here’s my true test.

I have not had enough time to play with Windows 7 yet but my first impressions were that it really is what Vista should have been. It looks good, it functions well, and runs fast. I look forward to finding out if they have fixed some of the other issues that Vista had but from my first impressions I have no reason to doubt the improvements I have seen and will see.
