Windows 7 - Uplifting your computing experience



W7 Well, i already boot exclusively on Windows 7! and i was really impressed. Thanks to Microsoft for releasing this great OS which i believe many has been waiting for. A new edge on computing experience. Yes, it might be look “alike” Windows Vista, but it is far better. If you are looking for a nice looking and fast operating system, this is it, Windows 7.

What I'm using is Windows 7 Ultimate, the version of Windows 7 which contain all the features and option - in other word - full spec!. If money not a problem, i would recommend you guys to have Windows 7 Ultimate, especially for those who doing high level of computing.

What makes Windows 7 the best ?

I’m not going into deep on what are the features that packed inside Windows 7, because its a lot!, but I'm going to highlight some new experience that Microsoft include which make your computing more easier and enjoyable. Yes i really enjoy this.

Installation

I can say, Windows 7 is a piece of cake to install. The most easy OS to install, it’s like installing all other application your Windows. I just take about half and hour to complete my installation. Microsoft did a lot of improvement on this. If you have been installing Windows before, i bet you’ll agree with me after put on Windows 7 on your machine.

The other best part is the drivers. You don’t have to worry about drivers. No more headache to find the drivers and version that fit your device with your OS. As soon as your installation complete, all your devices work like a charm. Thumbs up to Microsoft on this.

Anti-virus and Security

Virus is a nightmare to Windows user. As soon as my windows go live, the first thing i will do is installing my Norton Antivirus. But this time i failed to install NAV 2003 neither NAV Vista version on Windows 7. 

Well, you don’t have to be fret anymore for virus. Don’t event think to get Norton or any other brand. Microsoft already taking care of it and its all FREE. You just need to download Microsoft Security Essential and i would like to emphasis again, ITS FREE!!!.
I did put on my machine some “security venerable stuff” just to try out this MSE, and its really did his job well!!

Taskbar a.k.a Superbar.

I think you will love the new “taskbar” on Windows 7. Although its still named “Taskbar”, they just love it to call “Superbar” because of its new look and awesome features.

Superbar will help you manage your opened applications more easily with its Live Preview, Application progress, Pin - UnPin and many more. And also together with this Superbar, you get to know Aero-Peak, a significant features on Windows 7.

I’ll explain more on Superbar, Aero-Peak and many more great stuff on Window 7 on my next posting. 
And for those who worried about version compatibility, we will look on how to resolve that by using Windows XP Mode. Until then, Happy Computing!!!
