Back in the days Windows XP came out, there were thousands of people crying that it’s too heavy, unresponsive and unintuitive to work with. We remember most of them stuck to the original start menu, disabled themes and did countless optimizations to keep the most modern Windows for the time being from eating their memory. As years passed, XP became more stable than ever, but little has changed in terms of interface and the way things work. Then Microsoft came up with Vista, and we all expected to see something innovative. And guess what – we got it, but Microsoft forgot about those people who value system load above all and Vista was hated for its memory usage and compatibility issues that infested the 64bit version. Now that we have Windows 7, the constant need of RAM upgrades is over… or not?
Windows 7 is really a less demanding OS and you can see that once you realize it’s build not only for powerful desktop systems , but for notebooks too, which already outsold desktop systems. With that in mind you can take a look at Windows 7 and see that it inherited everything useful from Vista (which 32-bit version was wiser choice than XP for notebooks anyway) plus it unloaded the useless stuff, which made its predecessors obsolete the day it came out. But Microsoft also had another great success by that time – the best marketing campaign they ever did. Windows 7 became more popular than any other OS we’ve seen even at its beta stage. The wise choice of improvements aiming at once performance, reliability, integrity, energy savings, usability and even simply good looks makes Windows 7 one of the best OS ever made, even if it’s too early to give such valuation.
Another success story is that by creating fuzz around the upcoming release and developing single, easy to understand upgrade policy, Microsoft managed to draw most of the notebook vendors to the cause and they now happily sell every notebook with Windows 7 too.The expected mass integration of multi touch screens further helps the straightening this position. as Win 7 is the first OS for the masses to include native touch capabilities at such level. Even the segmentation of different versions – Windows 7 Basic, Home Premium, Professional, Ultimate is done with care and without sacrificing something a user will eventually require immediately.
We would not go into detailed review of Windows 7 – such reviews are everywhere on the Internet, but we wanted to clearly point the fact Microsoft managed to do the best this particular time.
Is Windows 7 twisted?
1/10 as Windows 7 is probably the best OS we’ve seen and everyone is happy with it. Could be flawless 0/10 if the Quicklaunch was still in place and we were able to move the Desktop button.
Higher Twisted Rating is worse
