Windows 7 is out

Three days ago Windows 7 was released. I have been running the RC version for some time, both on my laptop and my desktop computer, and I'm loving it so far. It certainly is more than a "better Vista", but nonetheless the amount of polish, stability and overall lightness are major selling points of the OS. Especially if compared with the previous edition which is still perceived as sluggish and bloated (for instance, all elements of the new control panel have a consistent visual style finally!).

I decided to get Windows 7 Home Premium edition today and in the next days my copy should ship from Germany (it's kind of difficult to get a disc of the English edition here in Italy).

Microsoft also released some funny "7 seconds demo" ads.
