Windows 7 was released today. I’m not terribly excited about it – I have the RC version and I may install it one of these days, but I don’t have a compelling reason to upgrade.
But if I do, I’ll certainly be looking at LifeHacker’s Complete Guide to Windows 7, which seems to be the most comprehensive that I’ve seen yer.
Thanks to Cherryleaf Technical Authors Blog which links to the first video I’ve ever seen for online help – a Microsoft video promoting the online help for Windows 7. (The ad shows the help on Microsoft’s web site, which is pretty good). The help is a lot better than the video, which is seriously cheesy, but at least their hearts are in the right place.
A lot of people are playing with Windows 7 as a result of Microsoft’s open beta program. I’m not, but I may consider upgrading once it gets officially released. I passed on Vista, but I have to admit that Windows 7 looks pretty good. If you want to find out more about it, check out Gizmodo’s Windows 7 – The Complete Guide.
Ars Technica has an in-depth look at the Windows 7 Beta. Personally, I’m sticking with XP for now. If I get a new machine, I might reconsider, but there’s no point in upgrading older machines.
