“One thing becomes

obvious after only a few

minutes of playing with

the new interface: The

Windows 7 design team

has paid an enormous

amount of attention to

small details and have

focused on workflows

and end-to-end

experiences, not just on

dialog boxes and feature

sets.”

“In general, I have found Windows 7 a pleasure to use. There are a few drawbacks, but my preliminary verdict on Windows 7 is positive. Even in beta form, with some features incomplete or imperfect, Windows 7 is, in my view, much better than Vista.”
