First impression you say ..... great ! Yeah actually it is great, micro-crap may have finally gotten it (mostly) right with this version of thier OS. My main reason is ..... I have actually been able to install and run games that vista wouldn't even install, and XP would install and then not be able to run AT ALL.....lol. I mean, opening my games archive box that I thought was going to get thrown out, and imagine my surprise when the games that haven't run since the 286/386 days are running superbly !! Everyone can say what they want about worrying about app compatibilty, I am not worried at all. And yes I am one of the end users that downgraded my PC's to XP, cause once again, micro-crap shot themselves in the foot with Vista and it's overall UNcompatibility. I have run every OS out there, and there are alot without all the bloat. There are also alot of OS/hardware combinations that simply weren't meant to work together. But....for the windows babies, Win 7 is a godsend. I have even got it to run on all my older machines with NO PROBLEMS .... lol. The only thing I don't like is I think micro-crap missed the mark in thier pricing scheme. Win 7 is worth no more that 90$ USD no matter what flavor you want, and by that I mean the full install, not the upgrade ****e they are pushing. And it is also nice to see that alot of my IT brethren are waiting for Win 7, to upgrade thier respective networks (colleges & businesses) from XP directly to Win 7. Vista & market share, never had it, never will. This is coming from a Vista user, and XP junkie.
