Windows 7

Ok - any of you who know me personally - know that I dont care for Microsoft products too much. I've said that they're an OS company and should first get that right and then go into other products which do things you don't want it to do (Office anyone?).

I got a copy of Windows 7 Beta and installed it. First impressions - HOLY COW - It's good! I had barely a couple of interactions with the installer before it presented me with the installed version. I've not played with Mac much - so I wouldn't know, but I hear they've borrowed a number of ideas from the Mac OS (and thank god? :-) )

Apart from that, it was able to recognize all my devices, and get running quickly. I'm definitely impressed so far. Lets see what it has in store soon.....

Where are the Screenshots! How quickly does it boot up btw? I hear Ubuntu will be booting up quicker and quicker.
