The new taskbar layout is really appealing, not to mention long overdue. You can pin programs to the taskbar, and it just works a lot more like a Dock. Once again, Microsoft is playing catch-up to Apple in some ways, but this still has a very “Windows” feel to it, and really fits very well into the OS. I also like the way it organizes your system tray. GONE are the endless icons that like to take up space there. You can still access them if you like, but they are ALL hidden by default. Two thumbs up.<\/p>\n
They seem to be taking networking and file sharing in the right direction as well, though I am anxious to see where this new “homegroup” feature goes. So far, it appears to be compatible only with other Windows 7 computers, so that could be a real issue in most households. UAC has also been vastly improved, as there are now levels of security to it that you can set, rather than only having the option to turn it completely on or off. Good progress there.<\/p>\n
The new Libraries feature is also pretty sweet. I love being able to keep my files organized the way I like, then TELL Windows where they are. I can still use things like “Documents” and “Photos”, but also keep them organized in my Dropbox. It’s about time!<\/p>\n
Overall, I’m pleased with it so far. If I can get some of the hardware glitches ironed out, I’m ready to make this the primary OS on my desktop. Yes, even though it’s beta. It’s that good. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
