Windows 7
I'm hopeful but wary
#20
Hmm, I really want to do a scientific review of the difference between Vista and Windows 7, but I don't know of any comprehensive system performance testing tools that don't require massive downloading on my end (plus excited nako mag-install at ayoko na mag-intay).

I guess I'll just have to spout off unscientific testimonials here. >_>

EDIT: I'm back. Install took around 45 minutes. Your own mileage may vary, I've been reading reports of the clean install (which they call custom now) taking only around 30. Point is, it's fast and simple.

OK picture tiem!

Desktop, loving the taskbar so far.

The new MS Paint. It exports to .PNG natively.

I'm not posting the Windows Experience Index score thing yet because I haven't installed any drivers yet. None. But Windows 7 is working rather nicely still.

It "just works."

*cough*

EDIT: Further on, I discover that this install dumps all the old programs and Vista files into a folder called Windows.old. That's a pretty thoughtful thing to do for Microsoft, and I appreciate what they're trying to do for the regular users. However, it makes me have to do the takeown command from the command prompt (more info here) to be able to use Disk Cleanup, because I don't have administrative rights to that folder yet. First real time of waiting. It's been going on for around 10 minutes already, and I don't think it's halfway yet. I'm guessing this could be avoided though, because these screenshots show the old Windows install up for selection on Disk Cleanup. I'm just wondering how.

Hahaha yeah I love Plants vs. Zombies
