Windows Se7en Beta Build 7000
Sunday, February 8, 2009 @ 8:15 PM
Okay. If you guys are updated with Microsoft's official webpage, you should know that Microsoft have launched the next generation Operating System Windows Se7en beta build. Almost everyone knows that Microsoft have came out with a not very well done Windows Vista, so will Microsoft built back the confidence of consumer on this next generation OS?
Today, I will try Windows 7 on a virtual hard drive using the software called VirtualBox. So, due to the hardware limitation of a virtual hard drive, Aero of Windows 7 could not be applied.
Basically, I will give Windows 7 a thumb up since it is a great improvement from Windows Vista. Microsoft claim to have Windows 7's specs to be 1 GB, but to my surprise, it works on 512 mb too! Smaller ram, but an ideal speed.
If you are using Windows Vista, you will probably find that your com hangs every 5 mins or so if you ram is 1 GB, and even if your ram is 2 GB, lagging issues only solved by 15% or so. A good recommendation of specs of ram for Windows Vista will probably be 4 GB, of course, unless you are using Windows Vista Home Basics, then 4 GB is will give you the ideal speed.
Now, this is the main desktop screen:
Notice a huge difference of the start menu when I hover my mouse over. Also notice the new power taskbar. I will show you now why it is power taskbar:
You notice that you can control 2 same windows with the power taskbar. Next will be the Paint. Microsoft has integrated a new ribbon style for paint.
Next will be the draggable gadgets.
So far, these are the features that I finds interesting.
Will post somemore if there are ...
