Windows 7

I have been running windows 7 ultimate on the new computer we purchased back in December. It is a beta version of Windows 7 Ultimate. I thought it was activated and was going to be able to continue running it indefinitely. As it turns out early last week I kept getting messages that windows must be activated in X days. I tried for days to figure a way around this message but was unable to get this version activated. So as hard as it was I actually trudged up to Best Buy this morning and purchased a copy of Windows 7 for my computer.
I had to do a clean install and reinstall all my programs but I feel good about having a genuine version of Windows 7 running on our computer.
The more I use it, the more I like it. There are a lot of little simple nuances that make me think that Microsoft is moving in the right direction.
Examples:
* Right-click on menu item and you can simply “pin” it to either the start menu or task bar.
* User configuration is now in a folder called users/userxxx
* It’s even aesthetically pleasing.
* Installed most of my programs without a hitch. If they were older programs I can run them easily in XP mode. Overall I give Microsoft an A+ here.
