With the launch of Windows Vista Microsoft is spreading around the news of yet another launch of Windows 7 by 2009, the news is picking up so much pace that recently a Hoax version of Windows 7 was found over all major torrent sites and those who downloaded found out later that it was just a cute joke.

So far the Windows 7 launch might turn out to be a good strategy, Microsoft Windows Vista didnt do much good to the version, its supper heavy interface too many of Security Alerts and still a bit unstable image didnt go well with the Windows Vista. Though one thing is quite clear and seems quite clean that the Microsoft Windows 7 will be a version of Microsoft Vista with the same functionality, same enhancements just wrapped around a better packing and new marketing campaign.

In Mid of 2007 i switch to Windows Vista as it came pre installed with my laptop, initially windows Vista didn’t perform at any standards, yes the initial looks were good, with shinny bar’s, desktop widgets, wallpapers themes, icons but the problems was that it was very slow in performance, it used to get hang the compute with IE7 and when i started using it i happend to find ouw how bad it sucks in performance.

But with a little support of a technical friend  i ripped off all the junk pre installed softwares, installed Firefox, OpenOffice, and switched the setting to high performance removing all the shinney bar and my problems got solved.

Now whats next we got to see is what will be Windows 7 and IE 8 going to be like on which i will add in my next post.
