Windows 7: Good, Bad and the Ugly
Have you heard about Windows 7?
This week Microsoft is distributing the “Release Candidate†of Windows version 7. I’m sure you’ll be reading about it all over the place. Blogs like Ed Bott Windows Expertise and Paul Thurotts Supersite provide information on all the new features complete with screen shots and setup advice. Naturally, I like to focus on the unusual and this week I picked out some of my favorite and not-so favorite features.
There is plenty of good new stuff in Windows 7. New desktop backgrounds, screen savers and animation effects really make Windows 7 a graphical experience. I tend to look for the not to obvious new features. Here’s one that really makes sense.
Another feature that looks really nice is the System Health Report. This can be found in the Control Panel on Advanced Tools for System Performance.
