Pretty Impressed (Longtime Mac User)
As a long term (15 years) Mac (By choice) and Windows XP (At work) user I just wanted to take the opportunity to give my two penneth about my initial impressions of Windows 7.
Although I absolutely detest using XP with a passion and personally find it a horrible, horrible system to use (I know many people love it but that is just how I personally find it), and was completely underwhelmed with Vista, I have been pleasantly surprised with Windows 7!
I have a PC laptop that I use predomintantly for work purposes and since making the decision to install the Windows 7 RC on it on Saturday, I can honestly say that for the first time I no longer view using it as a chore but actually enjoy the experience!
Although I'm no 'Apple is God, Microsoft is the Devil' type of person, I could never have imagined ever finding a Microsoft system both pleasurable or even fairly intuitive to use but thus far with Windows 7 that is indeed what I have found on both counts.
Although I love OSX and have no intention of ditching it, I can now genuinely look forward to a future where I can live in a 2 operating system environment without feeling like one of them is constantly battling against me!
After Vista I was actually pretty sure that it was the beginning of the end for Microsoft in the OS stakes but I have to take my hat off to them for pulling this little gem out of the bag! (And I'm still in shock that I've actually just written this! LOL)
