A few boring hours today so I decided to give the Windows 7 RC a shot. I’ve never really used Vista and while I use Win XP at work, this was all a rather new experience to me. Since it is currently free-as-in-beer until March or so (which is a looong time in the beer world) I didn’t feel that bad about embracing the monopolists for a short while.
So after roughly an hour of installation including partitioning and updating I booted into Windows 7. Frankly, my first impression was that it seems pretty good. I know there’s been a lot of flaming over this, but the interface reminds me a great deal of KDE4 and that’s entirely a good thing in my book. Still haven’t figured out how to disable that annoying double-click-to-do-anything feauture though.
First problem: No sound. Woo,
I’ve heard a lot about it looking and feeling similar to KDE4, and since I’ve been following that project for quite some time
