Windows 7 is out. What now?

Windows 7 October 23rd, 2009

Windows 7 is generally available since yesterday. Never have the expectations for a new operating system been as high as this time, as we as end users have never been integrated into finding ideas for a new Windows, like we have this time.

Browser August 27th, 2009
