What Are Your Current Impressions of Windows 7?
Thursday, April 1, 2010 by Island Dog | Discussion: Personal Computing
So it’s been many months since Windows 7 was released to the public, and during my travels on the web, I have seen praise from so many people about how they are enjoying Windows 7. Some of these are even coming from Mac users which really should tell you something.
My experience has exceeded my initial expectations, and I enjoy using Windows 7 every single day. Performance has been outstanding on my main rig, which is obviously quite powerful, but I can say the same thing for my Acer Netbook which I also have Win7 installed on.
Obviously I run quite a few games and applications, and haven’t had one single issue with one, including older applications. On the customization side, having apps like Fences, ObjectDock, and WindowBlinds make the desktop experience that much better – especially in terms of organization.
Now that many of you have had quite a bit of time to use Windows 7, what are your current impressions so far?

Not sure which desktop gadgets you were using, but have you checked out the sidebar gadgets at wincustomize.com? I used a couple of DesktopX widgets under Vista to monitor CPU, memory, and network usage, but after moving to Windows 7 and finding out that Sidebar gadgets in 7 can be free floating (not tied to a sidebar) I found some gadgets that did the same function much better.
