Windows 7 is here!!!
Today is the day, Windows 7 is finally here! You can grab the product in stores, and online retailers will begin shipping the product out to customers beginning today.
In addition, you can catch the Windows 7 Launch Event in New York live @ 8AM PDT/ 11AM EDT over at Microsoft’s website.
Although Windows 7 Center has taken a short hiatus on updates, the resources we have are still at your disposal. You may visit our forums and ask our members any questions regarding your issues or concerns with Windows 7. We also have an IRC Chat channel for you to connect to. Both would require registration, but we promise you that it’s quick. W7C will be updated with a slew of articles in the upcoming weeks so be sure to check back for ways on how to make the most out of Windows 7.
Hope everyone enjoys their copy of Windows 7! And if you haven’t grabbed it, here are some e-retailers you can grab it from:

Well, Grabbing is not the WORD here in Europe…
My son went last nite to a so-called “launch” party, but there were no hand-outs of W7 at all…
So NO WEESEVEN for us here…
It’s a scam…
I’ll hopefully be getting a student deal on Home Premium x64 soon. I’m slowly building an Intel Core i7 box. I’m about to start a thread on that in the forums. Check it out.
I have used Windows 7 Beta for a few months and I would have to say that I like it. It is much faster and programs don’t lag even when you running multiple programs at once. There are some neat features introduced into Windows 7 and the overall use is much easier and simpler. Microsoft took Windows 7 seriously and they needed to do that. I have written a detailed experience about my use of Windows 7 and I hope you can find it useful. Please comment and let me know

It is still too early to determine what kind of problems might rise from Windows 7, but overall I think it will be a great operating system.
Thanks for the resourceful review!
I got my first look at Windows 7 this week and my initial reaction was “so far, so good.”
“So far” being the key phrase of that statement.
New operating systems are almost always an improvement, and will almost always generate some sort of enthusiasm or buzz within the first couple months.
But until the user sits down and gets a feel for what a new OS is all about (outside the VirtualBox), you’re not going to understand the product’s deficiencies … or its notable improvements.
The reality being you need at least 4-6 months under your belt before you can conclude how successful an OS is for you. And that’s the bottom line, how successful is this system to you and your work environment?
Here are my Top 7 reasons Windows 7 could be a success, and Top 7 reasons it could be a failure:

Finally ! I’m glad they didn’t fail again. This big day had come.
I want to download the launch ceremony that’s on microsoft’s PressaPass.
Anyone can help?
Windows 7 is the best os ever!!!! Better than apple!!!!! maby… even better..

Patrick, Patrick, Patrick, hold your horses for a while…
It’s not X-mas, not even SinterKlaas (Santa Claus)…

Windows 7 Should be a Fixta Free For All

Okay, never mind that I’m a dinosaur with an affinity for 1990’s era User Interfaces – I think even my best critics will very likely agree with me that Windows 7, for all of its performance improvements and bling, is essentially one big service deluxe pack for Windows Vista. It’s the Windows Vista that customers were promised when they bought “Vista Capable” PC’s 3 years ago, and despite the rest of us dinosaurs that are set in our ways about the way we like to work, it’s the Windows Vista that even Micosoft’s most ardent supporters hoped that would finally replace Windows XP. Windows 7 is the Vista that we were guaranteed would work properly, the first time around.
Taking a page from the 1955 Brooklyn Dodgers, Windows 7 and it’s accompanying sales propaganda is the Microsoft corporate mantra equivalent of “Wait ’till next year” that everyone is hoping may actually result in that all-elusive pennant win — the end-user and corporate acceptance that Windows Vista was never able to achieve.

Let’s face it, Windows 7 is Windows Vista Service Release 2, more than a service pack but less than a major release, with only a few added extra features, or as I am now in the custom of calling it, Windows Fixta. And since Windows 7 is essentially a performance and usability fix for a defective product, I’m of the increasing opinion that a Windows 7 upgrade should be free to anyone who was conned into buying Windows Vista.
Yes, you heard me. If you own a copy of Windows Vista — Microsoft should be giving you a download entitlement to whatever corresponding version you have. So if you have Home, you should get Windows 7 Home. If you have Ultimate, you should get Windows 7 Ultimate. For Microsoft to do anything less would be a disservice to their loyal customers, especially to the enterprises that actually bought into Enterprise Agreements for Vista desktops. It isn’t just good business for Microsoft to redeem itself in this way, it’s simply the right thing to do. Anything less than a complete “Mea culpa, we’ll do anything to make this up to you” move by Microsoft is likely to open them up to further litigation, especially by angry EU lawmakers who are just looking for another excuse to hit the company with billions more in fines as well as an expansion of existing class action in the United States.
As reported by Mary Jo Foley today, selected PC OEMs will begin offering free upgrades from Vista this summer, but these upgrades will not be retroactive. Microsoft needs to address their loyal customers and early adopters with free certificates NOW.
