Thought of The Day: Windows 7 is a knee-jerk reaction.

Having been using Windows 7 since the early Beta to the RTM and now the retail version, I really think that it is a knee-jerk reaction to consumers’ knee-jerk reactions to Windows Vista. If that’s not a run-on sentence then please pretend that it is not.

Windows 7 is definitely an improvement over Windows Vista. It seems to run snappier than Windows Vista. Under the hood, Windows 7 is not much different than Windows Vista. The UI in Windows 7 resembles of that Windows Vista’s. So what’s new with Windows 7?

The tech community seems to agree that Windows 7 is a polished Windows Vista. It is Windows Vista cleaned-up. I can’t help myself from asking the question why Windows 7 still costs to much for consumer to buy? Are there any significant benefits upgrading to Windows 7 from Windows Vista? Is it wise to upgrade a Windows XP computer  to Windows 7?

Honestly, it’s better to buy a new computer with Windows 7 pre-installed.

Windows 7 now features a less annoying UAC (User Account Control). If you’re running as an administrator, UAC will bug you a lot less to a point it wouldn’t bug you at all. In a way that’s a step back in security from Windows Vista.

I am interested in what Microsoft could come up with the successor to Windows 7. Plase do not call it Windows 8.

  1. Is this a joke?! Why are so many developers opposed to the stability and reliability of Windows XP? Windows Vista is wrecking the online gaming community. UAC and Windows Session Manager are the two most destructive programs I have ever dealt with. No self respecting gamer would allow this kind of intrusive security and parental control programs on their computers. I will not use a program that throws me out of my user sessions to shutdown and reboot to reconfigure security settings and all I’ve done is lost. Bad, very bad technology. Windows 98 was the best, but I’m sure no one wants to hear that now.
