Windows 7 RC Rocks!

Today I just had one of my best experiences so far as an operating system user. I’m talking about in-place upgrade to Windows 7 Release Candidate (build 7100). Being very enthusiastic about the sheer performance and slickness of the new Windows 7, I started to use it for quite some time by installing one of the early builds (6800 and something).

Although I am known as one of the Romanian public speakers who does enjoy the occasional ‘head shot’ (can’t help it, I’m still an UT player :D) to MSFT (of course only when they really deserve it), I have to admit, it is the very first time when I am genuinely impressed by an OS produced by the Redmond giant.

So far, I never had the guts to use for more than 6 months, on my primary machine, a Windows version that was not even a Release Candidate. This time, I did it, and it turned out to be a good decision. On top of that, having a spare moment today, I decided to upgrade my shack to the RC version. Guess what, it went on perfectly, without a glitch and all my stuff is working like a charm (and believe me, I have lots of stuff on my machine).

All I can say is that Win7 RC really rocks! Can’t wait to get the final bits…
