We’ve been running and testing Windows 7 on my wife’s Toshiba laptop for a few days now. She’s very happy with the install and the experience and hasn’t had any problems whatsoever.
She said there was just a little bit of adjustment for some of the user-interface changes, but there was nothing real major for her that she used on a regular basis.
I still haven’t played around with it too much, but what I have I’ve liked. Things seem to be organized more intuitively over all. It’s still a slight adjustment after running with Windows XP for so many years. I didn’t really have the transition to Vista as I never installed it on my main machine.
My wife said she does see a noticeable difference in overall startup and shutdown speeds with Windows 7 for sure. She can also notice an increase in speed while working in and using multiple programs. Multi-tasking happens even more fluidly with the improved memory management between applications.
I still want to really look into the file management and file organization tools that are available now in Window 7.
