FREE Upgrade to Windows 7 for Vista users?

Windows Vista isn't a bad OS - now. But it's had its problems. Third parties didn't make drivers fast enough, bugs affected obscure features such as copying and deleting files, and Vista Capable PCs were nothing of the sort.

Not all of the problems were Microsoft's fault, but Microsoft's name is on the box - so if people have a less than stellar experience with Vista, it's Microsoft they're going to blame.microsoft_logo

Credit where credit's due, Microsoft appears to have got it right with Windows 7. It boots in less than a fortnight. It doesn't make our laptop shoot up to 100% CPU usage for no good reason, generating enough heat to cook a moose. It goes like lightning on machines that struggled with Vista. It's very good. In fact, it's great. Which is why Microsoft should give it away.

People paid good money for Vista expecting to receive a racehorse, and Microsoft sent them a pig in a wig instead. If that hasn't already scared them into the arms of Steve Jobs, they're still going to be wary about giving Microsoft any money ever again. So Microsoft shouldn't ask them for any.

Instead of flogging Twenty-two badly named and badly differentiated versions of Windows 7, Microsoft could easily offer two. The first, which it could call Windows 7 Essentials, would be the core OS, and it would be an upgrade for Vista SP1. The second would include touch screen support and other sparkly things, and it would be Windows 7 Ultimate. Essentials would be free, with Ultimate as a reasonably priced upgrade.

Madness? Nope. Microsoft doesn't make that much money from OS upgrades: the real cash comes from new PCs. Giving Vista users a free upgrade wouldn't affect that much, but it would make a lot of people feel warm and fuzzy about Microsoft. Many of them would upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate. Many of them would use Windows Live, and Office, and other Microsoft products. And when it's time to buy a new PC, it might just keep them out of the Apple Store.

Microsoft won't do it. But

it should

Microsoft VS Google

Microsoft-vs-Google

I don't know what to call it but there is one bad news or all Chrome lovers like me.

and that is CHROME doesn't RUN on Windows 7 Beta(at least in my case). Yes when I tried to rum chrome I got a message saying something like “Google Chrome have some known issues”. Technically what I think its because of the way chrome handles multi tabs. Chrome creates new process (EXE) or each TAB may be that is creating problem.

well I think it must be resolved in final build.

Notification Area

this is one of the thing that i really love about win7.

they have given a action center for controlling all the annoying notification that comes in right bottom corner of XP and VISTA.

notification

These Icon usually raising very annoying pop-Ups like update Windows defender Definition or something like that.

But in Win 7 user can control these pop-Ups. its not like that user will never see these and any use full message can be lost. Microsoft has com with very innovative (as far as i think) idea.

That is Action Center.

actioncenter

Now user can select and turn of notification for selected programs.

For those program whose notification are blocked by user can be seen later.

actioncenter2

this is in fact very useful or those guys who use there system for presentations and something like that. because its very annoying to have a pop-Up in between of your presentation saying “Please update your Anti-Virus Definition.
