My dad just installed Windows 7, which he got through the Microsoft Partner Program. I don’t know if its just because he has it but not me, but I’m not a hundred percent happy with it. It does (apparently) have better running and loading times, as well as a smaller install, but one of the main things I like in an OS, maybe even more than how it runs, is how it looks.
If you haven’t got where this is going yet, I’ll tell you. I am not impressed by what it looks like. First of all the initial loading and login screens have been totally revamped, with a glowing (or getting increasingly blurry and bright, which is more the case) windows logo and star moving thingy for the initial load, and a blue screen with some lines and some description of bird for login.
After getting through that, you can see that the sidebar has taken on a more yahoo widgets look, with the gadgets moveable about the screen. All right, you may say, but all it really does is distract you from the horrid sight down below – the fat, ugly taskbar, that looks like a reject from the 98 days, with a large icon-only view type initially, it just doesn’t feel like it belongs.
