So I’ve been told that having a Windows 7 House party just isn’t cool. So to show my excitement for Windows 7 (which comes out in just 22 days) I’m going to blog (until its officially available) on the features that I think make Windows 7 so great. :)
Feature 1… Installation. (from USB)
The install process is so simple, boot, select install, name the pc, create a password, start using.
A clean install of Windows 7 from the DVD, installation takes about 30 mins. However if you boot from USB, it takes about 10 minutes. Okay so making the Windows 7 installation USB took a little longer than 20 minutes, although it’s a required step if your installing on a Netbook. I’ve installed Windows 7 about 5 times since it has been RTM’ed and I've definitely made back the time.
Upgrading from XP is not supported, I think this could possibly be feature #2. I never recommend upgrading your OS and forcing people do a clean (or partial clean) install will just lead to more stable systems (and a better reputation for Windows 7).
