I don't feel what you guys are going all crazy about. I've been using it on my secondary computer and it just feels like what is expected from a computer. Nothing about it stands out as fantastic (besides being a replacement for the vista abortion and looking modern). I've been using OS X for a while now and I am completely underwhelmed by Windows 7.

I will give it a bit of credit for having a bit better program responsiveness, but the memory management is still terrible. I just wish Microsoft would swallow it's pride and rebuild an OS from scratch over UNIX. I guess I'll continue to let my old PCs die and replace them with mac machines.

I took this word, screencapped it, and blew it up. Here's Win7's ClearType:

Edit: Hm, doesn't look all that different. I used to be "gently caress ClearType", but I tried on Win7 and got used to it after about a week, and now I probably would be uncomfortable without it.

I wonder how that looks with red blue 3d glasses
