I rebuilt my old Dell XPS M1710 with Windows 7 yesterday and it’s fantastic. No really, it’s a dream to use and seems to have given my machine a new lease of life.
It’s not that I had any problems with poor embattled Vista, which served me well for almost three years. It was time for a rebuild and I thought I might as well install the latest to satisfy my inner geek.

Microsoft have revealed that they will be releasing a public Release Candidate (RC) of Windows 7, possibly in April 2009.
My colleague in the Schools’ ICT Unit has installed the 64-bit version of Windows 7 as his main OS and, apart from one or two bugs (to be expected with a beta), has seen good compatibility and improved performance over Vista.
Please visit the Engineering Windows 7 Blog to read about some of the enhancements made on the back of the public beta.
The official launch of the new OS is rumoured to be as early as September 2009.
