Windows 7 - Installed and working.

Well I got Windows 7 installed on a 2 year old laptop with 1GB of memory and on inside a Virtual Machine.
Both installations went very smooth with no issues.  Both machines patched and installed Office 2007 perfectly.

Windows 7 looks and acts a lot like Vista but it is not as sluggish.  The Windows screens adn menus are laid out just as they were in Vista.  So users who have already been using Vista will have no issues moving to Windows 7.

So far I like the experience of using Windows 7 I have not joined it to the Domain yet and started installing printers and applications.  This will be the real test to see if the new OS will work in a business environment.

Stay tuned for more on Windows 7!

Stay tuned as we put Windows 7 through its paces and determine if it belongs in your business.
