If I could define a single word that defines my experience with this OS so far it would be ‘wow’.
This is the OS that Microsoft should have released instead of Vista. I don’t blame them for releasing Vista, as it forced the hardware manufacturers to create drivers for the Vista/7 driver model (which was 95% of my issues with Vista when it was released).
When I dual boot from Vista to 7 I’m constantly bugged by the general lagginess of Vista in comparison to 7 (which in some cases is more snappy than XP!). Honestly, 7 is making me a Microsoft fan again. Although I still think that their server licenses are too expensive, however Windows Server 2008 Foundation may change that for me.
I highly suggest anyone that’s halfway clueful with computers to test it out by going to their customer preview program!
