Re:Does Windows 7 have any must have features that Windows X... by jameswestgate on Sunday January 11, 2009 @05:52PM (#429765)
upgraded vista sp1 on my macbook pro to beta build 7000. Went smoothly took about 2 hrs. No driver issues etc. Taskbar is much cleaner, and the horrible aurora green/blue theme throughout Vista is replaced with OSX aqua style coloring. Very stable, more responsive. Fewer icons on the taskbar, and the gadgets dont sit awkwardly on the left. All minor improvements that add up to be what Vista should have been.

Only gripe so far is slower when coming out of hibernate ... Wont be going back to Vista ! Hooray!

I actually got running the Windows 7 leaked out version on a VMware machine. I suppose the new beta official release has is more stable and has other features but as far as I can see, there is no big differences in windows XP and windows vista
