The bad: Performance is still hit-or-miss in Windows 7. At the ripe age of seven, Windows XP still performs better in some categories.
The bottom line: Windows 7 is more than what Vista should have been, it's where Microsoft needed to go. How much damage Vista did and whether Windows 7 is enough for people to finally abandon Windows XP are questions that nobody has the answers to right now.

Opinion:
I Installed Windows 7 Enterprise (Still a release candidate) on my Lenovo 3000N100 running a Dual core 1.66Ghz 2GB RAM laptop. And have been testing it for a week now with no issues literally. The installation is easy, it picks up most drivers by default and trhe online update can fetch the rest. The graphics performance is great and it has greatly enhanced colour and sharpness of web images. IE 8 which comes by default had no glitches at all with windows 7.
The pick of all is the addition of Homegroup netowrk, i was able to share two pc's (both needs to be win7) in less than a minute.
Other interfaces have undergone minor changes with a better arrangement of devices in conmtrol panel and windows explorer. Although mostly resembling Vista.

Otherwise no new applications ... Read more
