Microsoft Windows 7 (Home Premium)
Strong design and Microsoft don't always go together, but they do in Windows 7. Users might take a while to get used to the new taskbar and Aero Peek, but they're a pleasure to use

Microsoft Windows 7
Windows 7 is finally here. Will it redeem Microsoft's Vista-tarnished image? All indications are that it will. The hardware driver issues that plagued Vista won't recur, for the simple reason that Windows 7 reuses the same deep plumbing code that ...

Ease of Use

"Good operating system still has some problems.."

It was a strong system has amazing new looks and features and very user friendly
Still a bit of a hog like vista performance wise and has problems with some alot of its own drivers ie. Lifecam downloaded the driver and it disabled it for online use via flash player....problems with windows 7, drivers are my only real complaint
"Best operating system I have ever used"
When I had to switch back to vista from the b...
Excellent speed, fast setup, non-intrusive, excellent new interface, great new media features, way more customization options, fast search & indexing
The interface changes may take a little while to get used to, but once you get used to it it will be a pain to go back to vista or xp. Some libraries are hit-or-miss
