Windows 7 – Taking the Dive

Windows 7

I have never used Windows 7 Beta, RC nor RTM. I’ve heard raving reviews about it, seen the pretty interface on tech sites and I was reluctant to install all the pre-release versions because it was just too troublesome to reinstall OSes.

It is now two months before the slated Oct 22 launch of Windows 7 but thanks to NUS School of Computing (SoC) and their partnership with the Academic Alliance with Microsoft Developer Network (MSDNAA), I have a copy of Windows 7 Professional installed on my laptop. NOT RTM, NOT RC, NOT BETA, but a full working copy that comes with a cd-key!

Microsoft needs to get its game up and running, and get it up quickly it better, especially if these numbers mean anything.
