Windows 7 is finally released into the wild!  So far the operating system has received great reviews around the web. Amazon even said that Windows 7 is bigger than Harry Potter, so things are looking bright for them .

Many say that Windows 7 is what Windows Vista should have been, an optimized operating system that combines the looks of today with interesting new features and less bloat.

Here are the things that I personally like in Windows 7:

* Automatic digital camera (and other devices) recognition with proper actions displayed (e.g. copy photos from digital camera to the               computer system). No driver installation or third party software needed to do that.
* The operating system feels more responsive and seems to run better on low-end hardware than Vista
* Better troubleshooting options
* The new taskbar. It takes a while to get used to the new features but they are very handy (e.g. pinning software to the taskbar)                    once you get used to them
* Light theme customizations without system file patching
* Search Connectors to search the Internet from within Windows Explorer
* Better 64-bit support (meaning developers who want a certificate need to provide 32-bit and 64-bit editions of their programs)
* Home Group feature for easier home network management and creation

Snip from the PCMAG:

“Microsoft’s decision to leave Windows XP users behind, with no easy upgrade path to Windows 7, is, possibly, the sole mistake of an otherwise pitch-perfect product development and launch campaign.

Yes, I know there’s precedent for Microsoft not helping customers upgrade from multi-generations-old operating systems. When XP shipped in October of 2001, Windows 3.1 and even Windows 95 were left behind. The exact phrasing Microsoft uses in its literature is: “No Supported Upgrade Paths.” When Vista shipped in January 2007, XP had multiple paths, but Windows 2000 (and older OSs) were left out in the cold. more..”
