I have been using this system for some time for a testing reasons and I was sick of the new task bar. It really doesn’t suit to me and fortunately it can be turned to the old look – but in quite complicated way. When I compared W7 with Windows Vista, it is quite the same system – of course, it has the same kernel. Maybe W7 was a bit faster, maybe it was only placebo effect of MS PR. It means there are no improvements, which I was able to see at first look on my ‘prehistorical’ AMD Athlon 64, 2 GB RAM (I am still talking about speed).

In my opinion, W7 is good system. It is stable, good-looking and user friendly. But when you have another system installed on you computer, and you are comfortable with it, there is no need to spend money for this. It is evolution but not revolution and it has no killer feature but it has all the properties (good and bad) that Windows always had. Windows XP is stable too (there might be problems with drivers to new devices in a year or two) and Windows Vista SP1 is quite the same as Windows 7, except the look.
When you are going to by new computer and you haven’t got OS, Windows 7 is the best choice.

To buy or not to buy. That is the nowadays question. Hope this my report will help somebody to decide. My opinion is really desinterested and dispassionate because I was using MS Windows Xp, Vista and 7 as a slave systems and Linux as a master system so I am really not infected with the WOW effect when new toy is here
