It’s a Windows 7 Love Fest

On the fence as to whether or not you should install Windows 7? If you’re hesitating, let me help you get up on this here bandwagon. I love Windows 7, yes it’s true, but remember that I was someone who didn’t entirely hate Vista – it had its quirks, mind you -  but nothing was entirely broken for me except for some lousy Nvidia drivers. However, I never really blamed that on Windows. I blamed that on Nvidia. Still, I suggest people take my opinion with a grain of salt.

Of course she likes Windows…she works over there. And I do, but believe me, I don’t get paid to blog on sarahintampa.com. If I did, there would be a lot more content here.

So anyway, for the folks that need a little more convincing, I offer you up some more impartial insights from around the web:

1. Walt Mossberg, Wall Street Journal: “I do have some first impressions, and they are all pretty positive.” Video:

5. Plus, as I pointed out on Twitter earlier, even a couple of die-hard Mac fans commented on how they “didn’t dislike” Windows 7:

• Oh My God, I Actually Like Windows 7 (So Far): “… I honestly would not mind using Windows 7 on a daily basis, which is something I haven’t been able to say about a Microsoft OS since when the early days of Windows XP”
• Windows 7 on the HP 2710p:  “… Let me say at the outset that the installation and the amazing experience I have had with Windows 7 had me seriously thinking if I should stay with Mac OS X.”

6. But why should you try Windows 7? Well, sometimes, things are great not because there is one big revolutionary change, but because every little thing has been improved.

7. Oh and because things “just work.” (Hey now, we get to say it too!)

Here’s a great example of things just working, from anand iyer’s blog – his Lenovo T60P running Windows 7 waking up from sleep:

…Yeah, it works that way for me too.
