It has been more than 3 weeks since I have been using Windows 7 now. It has been scintillating experience using it. It is not Vista with bug fixes, it is much more than that. It has much better usability as compared to Vista or even XP. The new task bar is much more convenient. I have installed Launchy but I hardly have to use it. The new task bar has many good features such as window and tab preview, pinning the app, jump menu, grouping notification icons. I haven’t much used the start menu as well because of the task bar.
Apart from this Windows 7 has corrected a lot of explorer related issues also. I always had a problem in Vista accessing my favourites in Explorer, the folder pan was too big, the preview pan at the bottom was too large. All this has been corrected with some additional features such as “Libraries”. Here there are sections like “Documents”, “Music”, “Pictures” and “Videos”. These are not just folders. You can add multiple folders to your Music and Pictures library and it will be available in just one click. I intend to read more about Windows 7 and try to utilize it to its maximum capacity. Do try it when it is released (I am using the RC version).
