Windows 7 Release Candidate – first look
Today I got my hands on fresh Windows 7 RC so I decided to give it a shot. I installed it on VirtualBox 2.2, VM with 1GB of RAM and I have to admit, I am impressed.
There is no visible changes in the UI, the only thing that’s changed is the installer, it is really nice, much nicer than any previous installer. But here is the thing, I couldn’t really enjoy it too long. Installation took only 22 minutes. I wanted to see how quick it is on the boot time. Fresh start, with login screen, 47 seconds… The interface is responsive straight away. That is very good result for Windows running on only 1GB of RAM. I would love to see it on a physical machine.
First impression – I like it. It feels like it is ready to rock. If I just wasn’t in love with Ubuntu… :)
