The
age of Windows Vista has officially given away to a new era of Windows
operating system: Windows 7. And we couldn’t be happier. Today is the
big day we’ve been waiting for as Windows 7 becomes available on
desktop and laptop computers. You can also get Windows 7 as an upgrade
for the PC you currently own.
Microsoft celebrated the launch of Windows 7 with a special press
event. But don’t feel bad about missing it, they didn’t reveal anything
we haven’t heard a million times. But they did give that cute little
girl from the Microsoft commercials a pretty pink laptop. Like I said, you didn’t miss much.
We’ve been following the development of Windows 7 for quite some time, so if you’re wondering what all the fuss is about, you can follow the excitement from clear back when we reviewed the Windows 7 Beta on through the reveals about pricing and version plans to the news that Windows 7 would be running on netbooks.
And if you’re wondering what kind of computers and deals you can get
with Windows 7, check out the site Microsoft put together to showcase Windows 7 machines.
These aren’t computers manufactured by Microsoft; but to promote the
machines running Windows 7, Microsoft has put together a special site
in the Microsoft Store to highlight Windows 7 computers from other
manufacturers. It’s actually pretty useful if you don’t know what your
options are. There’s a nice sorting tool to help you find computers
based on price, brand, screen size and specs.
So check out the new face of Windows; you’ll like what you see.
