As most people know I am a fan of Microsoft Windows. I have a few friends that use MAC and there is nothing wrong with that, it does exactly what they need it to do. For me it fails at gaming so I can not use it. Plus I have some other problems with MAC’s but I’ll save that for another post.
So Microsoft is now working on Windows 7 and have even released a BETA version to the public, which I think is a great thing so now people can test it out and give their feed back. Plus when I mean if it crashes they can collect the data on it and fix it before they do a final release. Now Windows XP was the last OS they released that was awesome. Vista was said to bring in the next generation and be one of their best. I was excited I figured wow they actual learned from XP and now improving that. Well I was wrong, Vista is a good OS but not nearly as good as it should have been. The 64bit version was buggy and didn’t work for me, the system was just a lot slower at opening up and getting files. Once I put 4GB of memory in my machine things started picking up, but I have over 5GB of memory and 32bit OS can’t use that.
So Windows 7 is supposed to be the fix to it all, and really I am excited even though Microsoft has let me down in the past (Vista, ME). I have read many reviews on the new Windows 7 and even saw a few from MAC users saying that they were impressed and might make the switch back. So this perked my ears up. So here are some things I would like to see in Windows 7 and they might be in there, to be honest I haven’t checked into much yet.
- Faster fileing system – NTFS is nice but can we make it a bit more efficent
- Stronger Security – I am a security NAZI and I want tighter security, I want the OS to be able to fight off attacks and prevent malice software from messing it up
- Better 64bit support – Really we should not be using 32bit, we need to put that in the past along with FAT16 and FAT32 it is time for us to move forward
- Cleaner code – now I know Microsoft won’t release their code but we all know that it is rather sloppy and could be cleaned up
- Better support – Lets make it where drivers are no longer an issue.
- Cleaner interface – Microsoft could learn a thing or two about an interface from Apple
- Better support for Network Admins and Sys Admins, give us more control over the users. I know GPO and Windows Server help out mostly with this
I hope to have VM ware installed soon so that I may try working with the BETA version of Windows 7 so that I can give people my honest opinion, and I will post a Mac vs PC post soon. So Eddie and Ty, be ready!
Cheers
