Microsoft Shows Journalists Windows Vista 7

Microsoft finally pushed Windows Vista aside, giving journalists a 7 hour look at the new Windows 7 on Sunday at the Professional Developers Conference in Los Angeles. They gave the people a Dell XPS M1330 with Win 7 on it, and the first reports seem to be pretty positive.

Over at Gizmodo they had a pretty in depth look at what Microsoft had to show and the reviewer liked what he saw apparently...

For starters, even the early build of Windows 7 feels like a fast, stable environment. There's a lot going on behind the scenes to make the OS more usable, one monumental improvement being how video memory is allocated for unseen windows. (Hint: It's not.) The result is a highly responsive machine that gets decent battery life. Though specs aren't out yet, Windows boss Steve Sinofsky confirmed that it could run on systems with just 1GB of RAM.

This is a pretty big deal becaus a big issue with Vista was the slow and lagging performance at times, making users very frustrated and wanting to switch back to Windows Xp. And if this system can really run on a 1GB of Ram, users would be thrilled to say the least.

Another thing that caught my eye was the improved media playback system that eliminates having to download codec packs and filters to watch certain movies.

I am happy to report that, for starters, Windows 7 is itself a more aggressive media playback system, natively handling both AAC and H.264 as well as DivX and Xvid without third-party download.

The improved 1-click Wi-Fi selection straight from the system tray is also something that sounds really nice, as does the improved user interface, faster boot times and free roaming gadgets. All in all you get the feeling that Windows 7 is at least starting out in a good direction and now we just have to hope that they can keep it going now on the right track.

And yes, you have to think that Microsoft is very happy with these initial reactions as they will take any good pub that it can get right now after the big Vista debacle.
