Windows 7 – The First Month
I’ve been using Windows 7 for over a month now and I’m not nearly as impressed as I first was. It still crashes and it still runs slow at times. More than I remember with XP.
I have had problems with waking the machine from sleep and it seems to get bogged down at times for no reason (updating iTunes Podcasts for example). I’m still not comfortable with the way Explorer works or the Start Menu. I’m sure those are things I can change though. The security thing confuses me as well. I still can’t get a local web site running under IIS. Again, I’m sure it is something simple….
During this time, I purchased a MacBook Pro and I’m really liking the OS. I’m all about function over form, so I like the consistency of how things work on the Mac (it looks kinda nice too). The OS boots, sleeps and recovers so much better too!
I’ll always be a Windows user on some level, so I was hoping for more with Win 7. Maybe the next SP will make things better.
