windows 7

i know i'm late on this, but i'm really alright with that. after about 14 failed attempts with firefox, safari, and opera on my macbook, i finally got the download on ie on my mothers winbox. and soon i was on my way to installing the windows 7 public beta. the first time, there were some issues with windows exporer, but a second install down the road and everything is great. there really isn't much to say about it that hasn't already been said, it just seems to be a more stabler, efficient version of vista. so microsoft released vista too early (probably to try and fight that huge [and still going] mac push that seems to be happening recently), fixed it, and should have made it an sp2. i plan to keep it installed until my beta runs out, and use it while i'm at school, but windows still hasn't shown me anything worthy of switching, and now that i have a 360, there is really nothing i need windows for. It seems like a great new version of windows. if your a windows user you'll get it when you need a new computer (i would advise waiting till it comes out [this july i believe it's set?] to buy one if it's not necessary). and if you bought vista, my regards.

also, when the beta first came out, it was going to be limited to only the first 32 million downloaders. the demand was there, and the servers crashed. by the time it was back up, it was a full public beta, available until jan 24th (this saturday, so hurry up if you've missed out). i think they planned this the whole time. they said it would be VERY limited just to see the demand there would be for people eager to try the new windows.


there is just something about os x, that makes me feel at home.
