Windows 7 Release Candidate: I think I like it!

By Richard Hay, on May 6th, 2009

It is day 2 of the public availability of the Microsoft Windows 7 Release Candidate. As I sit and watch my active Twitter search for Windows 7 – I am pretty impressed by the reactions to this upcoming OS.

OK – so there is just 5 I have pulled up from the “I Like it” side. In all fairness – here are the less than stellar reviews of Windows 7 in 140 characters or less:

So as you can see there are not any real overwhelming negatives being said – just not over the top enthusiastic.

I had to also include this review of the install and use of Windows 7 because it is probably the one that is guaranteed to have not been Microsoft’s fault:

Just another example of why drinking and computing do not mix!

So what is your impression of Windows 7 so far?
