 Windows 7 Professional 32 bit, worth every penny August 30, 2009

First off let me explain something, as a fulltime student studying a Bachelors degree in Computer Science, my University pays for a service from Microsoft which allows us to have access to new software before anyone else.
I am currently using Windows 7 Professional 32 bit, full version. This is the final retail version as it will be shipped and to date I have had no major issues with the software whatsoever.
The Operating System runs smoothly, looks a lot cleaner and clearer than previous versions of Windows that I have used. I tried Vista but found it too unstable for my liking. I have performed a clean install on my Laptop and I am very pleased with the hardware support it provides.
My Laptop has 2gb RAM, 256mb nVidia GeForce Go 7400 and 1.83Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo. The feature of Windows 7 that stands out the most to me is the excellent multiple monitor support. Firstly my graphics card is non standard and requires Windows Update recommended drivers which are not Official drivers from nVidia but work perfectly. When I had originally tried Windows Vista I had no dual screen support and due to driver issues I was frequently presented with Blue Screens, as for Windows 7 to date I have been using it for over a week now and it hasn't failed yet.
My Graphics card was the only peice of hardware that required a driver download the rest including a 15 in 1 Card reader, Connexant HD Audio, Gigabit Ethernet NIC, Intel PROSet Wireless all worked perfectly on first boot.
In terms of software compatibility I have come across no errors or issues yet, I run Office 2007 for office stuff, Windows Live Messenger for chat, Firefox 3.5 for the internet [Internet Explorer is present I choose not to use it and it seems to be fine with that decision] I also use a number of development environments including Visual Studio 2008 Professional and Macromedia Flash 8 Professional - all software runs fine, however flash studio temporarily disables Aero while open but re-enables it once closed]
In conclusion, although I got my copy free I am only licensed to install it on one PC which I have done, however I am planning on buying a new PC in a few months time and if it does not come with Windows 7 preinstalled I will buy it off the shelf as I am entirely satisfied in saying this product is worth every penny.

Windows 7 is fast and (so far) reasonably reliable. It's difficult to get excited about an operating system, so I won't even try...
Design-wise, the less-is-more approach of Vista has been largely abandoned, giving 7 a kind of XP-redux feel. Some fairly annoying and typically Microsoft features smack of over-design - I don't like its over-eager approach to multitasking, especially when I'm trying to juggle three spreadsheets and a Word document. Maybe I'm just thick? Well... that's what user 'friendly' was designed for. But this GUI is unstylish, and not intuitive. It's as if it's been designed as a basis for some future version where you touch the screen.
Given that XP (2001) wasn't superceded for a full 5 years, and Vista only lasted 3 years, I'll give this one 2 years from digital cradle to virtual grave.
All in all, fine. But it's no great move forward.
Best yet! March 22, 2010

I have been using windows since the very first incarnation and until this was released still preferred windows xp. Vista was a hog.
The trouble with xp is that it is now starting to look old, and very tired! I felt that due to its age it no longer handled things such as connecting external devices etc as nicely as an operating system should, especially given the plethora of devices available today.
Windows 7 has from the start been more or less a pleasure to use. Installation is faster and more automated than xp, which was a major annoyance for me with xp. Once installed it updates smoothly and has been runing things nicely ever since. The included apps and support are very good, I particularly like the snipping tool for taking 'shots' of whatever is on screen. Drivers for all bits of hardware installed automatically without a problem, though I did install new graphics drivers to ahve the latest!
One major point for me also was compatability. Unlike when Vista was released there were huge issues surrounding software and drivers not working or being available, Microsoft have addressed this through a lengthy beta programme which has clearly paid off. And for me, only the very oddest of random programmes are not supported and this can be gotten round by using the vista version due to the shared heritage.
I have both the pro and premium versions and I would say that for the most part premium is all you will ever need. Comes with 2 discs, the 32.64 bit versions. I am currently using the 64 bit as things these days are moving to systems with higher than 4 gb ram etc. I also think there is a trend/push towards the 64 bit now.
Overall a fantastic system which looks very nice on the eye! Comment | Permalink

At first I was a little unsure. Amongst the forums I frequent there has been a lot of buzz over Windows 7; but having seen many failed attempts by Microsoft in the past (having grown up using MS DOS) I was more than a little dubious.
However, after using the release candidate for a month now I can say I was being dubious over nothing.
The interface is very clean and simple, with many of the "errors" of Vista having been corrected. There are a few items which are now harder to find, but these almost don't matter in comparison to the positive changes Microsoft have made. An example is user account control. Now I typically would turn this off in Vista, simply because the prompts are too intrusive and frequent, and turning it off is not really a good idea in terms of security. Well in windows 7 you have more control over how frequently it alerts you of things. However, I have not changed this at all, as it now appears it is more "intelligent", and even leaving it at "out of the box" setup, it provides just the right level of prompts.
If you can afford this, then I'd highly recommend it. Especially if you manage to grab a copy whilst Microsoft are offering it at half price. Be warned though, that due to recent legislation changes in Europe, this version will not come with Internet Explorer (or any web browser). Make sure you download your chosen browser before upgrading your existing operating system.
Bring on the pre-orders! July 2, 2009

As a user of all version since the Windows 7 beta (and still using the RC daily) I can strongly recommend Windows 7 to any computer user, if you are looking to dual boot on a Mac, or to override your XP or Vista installation.
One thing to keep is mind is that Windows 7 E has NO upgrade from Vista available, and doesn't come with a browser, so you will need to backup all your files (and an installer for your favourite browser) before you begin setup.
Once you begin though, it's quick and easy to install and great to use, I've yet to have one system crash!
