Windows 7

I finally was able to get a copy of the Windows 7 beta (with key). I’ve installed it in vmware fusion to get it a spin. After playing with it for a little while here are some observations:

  • Appears to be more stable than vista
  • Has a more consistent look than vista
  • Loosy goosy interface isn’t as good as windows 2000.
  • Seems to be a bit faster than vista
  • IE8 renders this site correctly
  • IE8 is very unstable (tabs crashed and reloaded about ever 15 seconds and it kept “not responding”)

    Did you try the released IE8 yet?

    I haven’t yet. I plan on installing it and testing the site I am currently skinning. Although, debugging a site in three versions of internet explorer seems pretty hellish.
