Seven

Windows 7 has officially launched on the 22nd. Went ahead and took the plunge over to Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. Damage was 243 for the OEM version. Installtion was a breeze at less than 30 mins, and everything just worked, all my hardware was detected, no need for me to install anything except for my x-fi drivers and nvidia ones. Response and overall smoothness was really great. Not to mention the eyecandy Aero glass and peek are really nice, but it helps that my system is more or less still topline. Windows experience index is at 6.9 out of 7.9 though that is due to my harddisk limitting it to 6.9. Perhaps a raptor or SSD would help this. But its neglible, can still live with some loading time. Harddisks ade still a limiting factor when it comes to computing speeds. System feels snazzier and ram is now finally able to be fully utilized at 6 GB instead of being capped at 3.x GB for the x86 system. So here marks the end of 7 years of using Win XP. Anyway pro will always have xp virtualization so, it’s still around in a sense
