Today was the official launch of Microsoft’s latest operating system, Windows7. However, several Axis team members have been using the new OS for the last month to rave reviews.

Windows7 has a familiar “windows” feel to it, and at first glance, may look like Vista. However, even to the casual non-technical user like Axis VP Russell Wolf, Windows7 offers “an immediate improvement in performance, compatibility and reliability.” Russell has said that he finds the new taskbar a huge improvement, making it much easier to move through the sometimes more than dozen windows and/or applications he has open at a given time. “The speed of moving through and using the applications is noticeably better and I have yet to experience any hangups or delays like I did in Vista,” says Russell.
Axis Network Engineer, David Key, raved about the ease of migrating laptops and PCs to the new Windows7. He reported a short, trouble-free migration from Vista machines, and when moving from XP, although a longer process, it was still easy and problem free.
In the IT world, Microsoft has often been called a Marketing company first, and technology company second. But recent evidence, including the must-see Launch Party Video, and Windows7 itself, Microsoft may have finally reversed that.
But don’t take our word for it. We would like to hear from you about your experiences with Windows7.
