Impressions of Windows 7 (1.5)

  • It took me 26 minutes to install and configure and another 7 minutes to configure the views and UAC the way I like it. A+.
  • I really like the new taskbar. Now, I wasn't a Vista hater (I like Vista) but I like 7 more from what I have seen so far.
  • Google Chrome doesn't work. Sad day.
  • IE8 doesnt have Spell Check.
  • IE8's tabs load way too slow. I always miss a letter on the address because it takes too long to load.
  • It boots fast. Really fast. (Edit: It isn't any faster than Vista)
  • (Edit: My gadgets didn't save!)

I did a fresh install on a seperate drive - I would NOT recommend doing an update. Also, the installer won't let you partition, you have to do it in advance (so I guess the 26 minute install was actally about 30 minutes after trying to partition and adding a HD) Dual boot is fine as usual.
