Windows 7 Short Review

So after a few weeks of using and tweaking Windows 7, I have decided that it is quite possible the best OS on the market to date. I'm very impressed at how far Microsoft has come with this product and love that it is leaps and bounds ahead of Vista as far as usability,stability, and compatibility. Also this has been the first time for me testing out a 64-bit OS, and I must say that I am very impressed and sad that I didn't switch to 64-bit a long time ago, but perhaps this is just perfect timing for me. 64-bit allow me to utilize all of my current RAM and allows my fancy animation and digitally editing programs to run to their full potential. I didn't realize how well some of my programs could run until I got them on a 64-bit system. You may not know this but allot of the software you buy has been optimized for 64-bit, but you buy the 32-bit program which is really the slower slightly less effective version. Windows 7 has made for a seem less integration of my 32-bit software onto a 64-bit system. I have had no compatibility issues that couldn't be resolved by downloading the latest 64-bit drivers for that software, and Nvidia has really been on the ball and kept up with their 64-bit drivers for Windows 7 and I love that.

Bottom line, if you have the chance to upgrade to windows 7 when it comes out this September I would highly recommend it, especially if your running graphics and digital editing software that could greatly benefit from running at their peak performance capabilities.
