This has got to be one of the most hideous bits of marketing ever! Didn't even make it through the whole video.

I've just heard about this Windows 7 at work. Myself and some of the IT help dudes have been singled out to trial it with a view to introducing it company wide...


I still don't actually know what it is. Is it just the new operating system? The next thing after Vista??? (Still on XP dontchaknow)

been running it for about 6 weeks now (on release candidate) - it is fab !! some of the stuff is som much easier and when you have so many windows open then switching between them and findin the right one is so much quicker.

love it !

Isn't it just an updated version of Vista? I'm sure it will be released without all the bugs being sorted, as per usual with Microsoft.
