\n–It feel snappier<\/strong>. Now granted Vista 64-bit wasn’t that bad to start with on my desktop, but the difference with Vista 32-bit is night-and-day. Yes I know, I am comparing apples or oranges here.
\n–Aero overload<\/strong>. The whole glassy interface is a bit too much even for me, so this surely won’t please someone who appreciate simplicity, such as my ex-girlfriend. Aero peek is a nice feature though–it allows you to see small snapshots of all instances of the same application together.
\n–Smaller Footprint<\/strong>. A vanilla Vista installation with updates takes 20GB. Windows 7 is only taking 15 so far. Now the Beta was even smaller at ~10GB, but well…
\n–Better Internet Explorer<\/strong>. Finally it no longer takes ages to open a new tab. That said, Microsoft, as much as I thank you on this, I am still sticking with Firefox.
\n–Artistic\/Silly\/Un-Microsoft Wallpapers<\/strong>. Pick your word, but it is a break from scenery photos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
