A First Look at Windows 7

By mia 20 October 2009 5 Comments

On October 22, Microsoft will be releasing the much anticipated Windows 7 Operating System and with the widespread marketing blitz it’s hard not to wonder if this is the latest, greatest technology “must have”.  Of course, we have been wondering the very same thing.  Will this operating system perform better than Windows Vista?  Is Windows 7 as fun and easy as it appears?  What do we need to know before buying?  Should we prepare members to upgrade right away?

With these questions in mind, we have spent a great deal of time using and exploring the Windows 7 Beta release in order to provide you with the advice and information you need to determine if Windows 7 is right for you.   We have begun a Windows 7 topic and over the coming weeks we will continue to add videos and lessons for those who are curious and/or interested in upgrading.  Basically, we want to share with you our experiences so that you have a better idea of what Windows 7 is all about and how it might suit your needs.

We have reviewed the features, performance improvements and made comparisons to the XP and Vista operating systems.  Next up, we will check out the system requirements, versions and upgrade experience.  Of course, we have been working with the early release beta version and are expecting a few things to change as we go along.

Visit our Windows 7 Topic Page for updates regarding our experience.

    Well - Windows 7 is a replacement for Vista - and by all accounts seems to be much better. Check out our Windows 7: Lesson 1 for more information.

    Windows 7 will not affect our classes or tutorials as they are based on Microsoft Office software programs, like MS Office 2007. Windows 7 is an Operating System. The operating system drives the computer’s performance and how things, like the Start Menu and Taskbar, are displayed on the desktop. See Windows 7: Lesson 1 for more information.
