Windows 7 Review

Posted in

Installed on: 3.0gh, 1.5mg ram. Dell dimention 4600.    Running on an Active directory network
Overall:  Windows 7 is what Windows Vista should have been.   Upon first glance they seem to be targeting the home market, which means more tweaking to just make it play nice in a network environment.

  • Good:
    • Performance seems to be great, just clicking around it feels really fast.
    • Joined to Active Directory domain fine.
    • Can shut off annoying pop-up questions.
  • Bad:
    • Easy to get lost looking for standard control panel items. (did recently find the show all, which heps) 
    • Problem: I had to disable the sleep (took me a while to find out where), because the computer would not wake up from it.
    • Problem: Does not seem to be running active diredory logon scripts (Big hit against them)
  • Unrated:
    • I personally think it is too flashy;  using it reminds me of those websites on the not good list, with all the animated gifs.

  • Installed, quick and easy, all the drivers installed without issue (to be expected)
  • Had trouble navigating the control panel to find standard settings.
  • Joined to domain fine, but does not run the logon script.

  • Found the show all control panel items and I now feel like I can find stuff.
  • No headway on lack of logon script.
