Windows 7!!! I am a PC. I am simplified. Are you?

The most exciting event for a software professional is seeing the final version of their product reach the customers! When that product is Windows which gets used by Billion+ people across the world, then it is extra special ! When that product is Windows 7, which the whole world has been waiting for with great anticipation, then it is super special! Windows 7 is Generally Available out starting today. It’s been an eventful day: among all the breaking news about Microsoft and Windows 7.

Windows 7 pre-orders topped Harry Potter and is the biggest pre-order of all time as per Amazon UK. In Japan, the pre-order stock has already been sold out! “In fact, Windows 7 was able to tally up more sales in the first 8 hours of pre-order availability than Vista was able to collect altogether.” The reviews has been great. The response has been overwhelming. What more do you expect for a product to start.  Ever since I got my Launch Party Kit with a Windows 7 Ultimate edition, the experience has been so smooth. The upgrade has been super cool from Vista without any trouble. Not even single application broke during the upgrade process. No driver problems at all. My Laptop now talks to me through Windows 7.

Windows 7 comes with new features such as HomeGroup, Play-To, Direct Access, Branch Cache, Aero Shake, Snap, Peek, Jump Lists, Device Stage and a completely redesigned Windows Taskbar that make PCs faster, smarter and more secure.
