In August I started using Windows 7 on my laptop and one workstation in our office and to date we are pleased over all. My laptop is my office and goes with me every where, including my recent vacation. My biggest complaint regarding Vista was it was slow to sometimes impossible to connect to new networks (wired or wireless). To my joy, this problem was resolved and going through several networks a day was no problem. Mossberg found the HomeGroup function confusing but since I function in domain networks i didn’t test this function; although, my network “visibility” only included the Windows 7 machines. In this case UNC (universal naming convention) worked fine and in an SBS 2008 domain I maintained my mapped drives. I see that Thursday’s Walt Mossberg’s WSJ article also thought Windows 7 was great. I’ll never go that far because times and needs change but it would seem that we are both pleased.
Are you ready for Windows 7.
