Lucky 7 works for Windows

If Windows Vista turned out to be that horrendous first blind date you'd rather do everything to forget (perhaps even deny ever took place )... then... technically Microsoft's upcoming Windows 7 should make up for it by turning that dud into a stud?... Well, cheesy analogies aside, it's looking like Windows 7 might in fact do just that... Be everything Windows Vista should have been... and then some...

The gadget gurus over at Gizmodo recently reviewed a final build, gold version of Windows 7... And I have to say I'm liking what I'm seeing. A 60 second reduction in boot load time, no pesky automated/incessant permission requests, and better overall file indexing and logical searches... If I didn't know better, I'd say this might be the mother of all Vista service packs . But I'll take their word for it...

At the very least the new interface looks pretty neat ... and from what I've heard from beta tester buddies thus far, Microsoft might've finally gotten it right this time. Windows 7 officially releases on October 22nd (and seeing as yours truly has a free upgrade in store for the laptop, I can't wait to give it a whirl ).
