Getting A Lil' Techie

Today, I downloaded the public beta of Windows 7, and wow is it different from Vista! At first glance, it seems mostly the same as Vista, but after nosing around one can quickly notice the revamped user interface, which I am totally loving!

And since the Vista installation of my lil’ EeePC is nagging me to activate—I used a university copy to “test-drive” it—I decided to blow it away and put Windows 7 on it after a brief exploration on a PC I had laying about.

After spending hours copying music over to my gorgeous Eee, and getting my N95 working over BlueTooth with it, my Eee has never looked better! Now I get to play, play, play!

The support for iTunes format music and videos in Windows Media Player is absolutely love! I can have my music in my favourite music player without any awful hacks or gaps in playback when there shouldn’t be.

Overall, I feel spoiled with Windows 7! Luckily Vista is still a nice OS after using Windows 7, so it’s not as bad as having to work with XP after having Vista…
