Microsoft's New Baby!
#7
RE: Microsoft's New Baby!
To be completely honest I haven’t been following the release dates for Windows 7 because I haven’t been very excited about a new Windows version. With the last release, Vista, being delayed so many times and rumours about this date and that date, I just couldn't be bothered looking into new versions of whatever, I will look at them when they release.

As an MCSE (that needs renewal I just realized) I get to use all the cool betas to test out. I am not going into the whole Linux/MS debate which is useless anyway. I just have 1 question: What viable Linux alternative is there for Active Directory?

As for Windows 7, it is nice eye candy although that is the first thing I turn off at any GUI. I have Vista running on this very machine (and Ubuntu at home) at work and it performs very well, and System 7 is running equally well in my test environment. The way I look at it it makes up for most mistakes made in Vista, which for the most parts are corrected now in Vista anyway but should have been addressed in day one. The biggest annoyance in the first Vista is basically that what Linux proponents are throwing at MS operating systems, the enhanced security.

The thing is, in Vista you got a question for practically everything you wanted to do, which actually makes a security feature less effective because it only aggravates the user and he/she will much sooner turn that feature off because it reduces productivity. This matter has to a very large extent been resolved in Windows 7.

Windows 7 comes with IE 8, which for some will be confusing. The new web browser has been out in beta for a little while now. It definitely is not the fastest browser by a long shot but I think that overall people will enjoy it.
Best regards,
