Windows 7 put to the test

A nearly-final version of Windows 7 makes its world debut on Tuesday, giving people a chance to tell Microsoft what they like or hate about the new-generation operating system.

Definitely the best Windows ever. I looove it.

Busy downloading

Been running the RC since yesterday, so far so good.

there are a few quirks. In the media folders, the column headers have been changed to "Rating", Date Taken, and other such useless information. The columns for "Type" and "date modified" have been removed. You can get them back by right clicking and adding them in again. Only problem is... once you close the folder it goes back to the default. darn irritating when you want to sort and move stuff.

That defeats the purpose of actually putting the OS to the test? if you plan to actually pay the incredible price for the final release you expect it to work as it should.

I have used 7 beta for a long time now and it is very nice. Will probably load RC sometime this week.

Total Commander is like Norton Commander - something I have been using since I started out on DOS 6.22 in 1995. There really is no replacement for Total Commander...

Except maybe free commander ...

 

[ginggs]

Midnight Commander, FTW!

Where can it be dowloaded? Not on the Microsoft site that I can see.

Very impressive. I was a bit sceptic about your claim but free commander is pretty nice. Although I did find one major problem with it..... there is no Afrikaans language file. I Opera, Firefox, Total Commaner, My SQL Admin and a few other programs in Afrikaans...

Midnight Commander, FTW!

It only runs on hobbiestOS AFAIK.
