What do you think of windows 7? -

and what is your thoughts on open source for enterprise?

Hello Everyone- My name is Jeff and I work alongside the Windows Outreach Team. Thank you catilee for posting this question and getting a conversation started about Windows 7 Beta. Many of you offered interesting feedback. If you are a Beta tester be sure to utilize the “Send Feedback” tab that is found on top of open windows and let Microsoft what you like and what should be changed before the final version is released. Lastly I would like to share a few resources for you all to improve your Windows 7 Beta experience. Cheers, Jeff Windows Outreach Team http://i.gizmodo.com/5131933/giz-explain... http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows... http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Foru...

About Windows-7 I agree with someone on ZDNet who said it should be made available free of charge to all Vista owners as quot;warranty replacementquot;. In general I despise Microsoft s products pricing. In my country of over 220 million people with growing percentage each day becoming pc-literate I don t understand why Microsoft still sticks to its current quot;pricing policyquot; that makes using their products potentially doubles or even triples the cost of owning a well running personal system. On the other hand open source (free GPL or the like) for enterprise is only good if it would mean better funneling of the enterprise s thus bigger earnings for better welfare of the workers, not the owners, directly or indirectly.

Windows 7 sounds like a great product on all the reviews I read. The problems with Vista were 1) It was a memory hog, Windows 7 is not. 2) Vista has issues with some programs, Windows 7 does not. Windows 7 has a completely new look and feel. Windows 7 will be the true upgrade to XP. I build computers for customers, no one wants Vista, they all want XP. Finally a new OS from Microsoft. Now I hope there will not be like five flavors like the Vista offering. In XP there is only XP Home and XP Pro, hopefully Windows 7 will be the same, hopefully. I really love Open Source, I have Office 97 and I use Open Office 3.0 Word and the spreadsheet. I like them alot and I can save them in major file types including .doc and .xls

Windows 7 is Windows Vista with a few extras. Windows Vista is a polished turd, so Windows 7 has a second coat of polish on the same turd. I think that open source is ready for the enterprise, but there are too many enterprises sucking from the Microsoft teat.

Extreme offenses! *Is this a sentence? This doesn t inform the reader where your thoughts begin and end. quot;what ARE your thoughts ON window 7quot; it may not seem like a big deal, but I for one looked at your question and couldn t get past the errors to answer it. I mean this is a forum to COMMUNICATE so grammar counts!

Windows 7? I think Windows rushed to bring out Vista, and screwed up. Then they rushed to bring out Windows 7, thinking it ll fix their problems. I m sticking with OS X and Xandros. I love open source, but, for enterprise, I really have no idea.

it is great, i recently installed it and i LOVE it, everything is compatible now. As for open-source, i think its great for enterprise since they update alot to keep things up-to-date.

I like Windows 7 a lot, Im dual booting it on my laptop and its very fast and stable. A very great beta. When it comes out officially im going to buy it.

My Vista failed to upgrade to Windows 7 :(

I believe microsoft will make a great product as they usually do. And i am sure it will be a great follow up to vista

i like vista
