Developers Network. But close Smiley.

I downloaded it from MSDN a few weeks ago, and I have to say I think it's a triumph of marketing. There really isn't that much improvement over Vista (which I think is fine, generally, apart from the UAC crapness). The way W7 is now the best thing since sliced bread is impressive marketing, to say the least.

lol, couldn't agree less

I didn't even know w7 had been released until I got to the shop to buy my new lappy so can't say I find the marketing too impressive. grand total of adverts seen prior to purchase=zero

it's incred and abs destroys vista

In what respects? Don't want a blowup about it, just curious as to what you think is so much better? Maybe I've missed something...

And I don't necessarily mean marketing in terms of big adverts. They seem to have managed to get it into people's heads that it's solved all the problems of Vista. I'm not sure how they've done it, or whether it really is light years ahead (IMHO not, obv), but I think the way they've built up to it has been very clever somehow. I just don't know how Smiley.

I'm not aware of any marketting of any type. all I knew about w7 prior to this week was it was a new version of windows. I had no idea when it was out, what was new, whether it was supposed to be any good. in fact I'm pretty sure the only time I'd even heard mention of it was in a couple of threads on blonde and it's unlikely they were part of microsoft's marketing campaign

even if they had got me with their marketing telling me it solved all the problems of vista I would've wondered what the hell they were talking about as I was more than happy with vista

everything about 7 feels right. it's smooth, things are where you think they should be, the new taskbar stuff is great and you wonder why they didn't do it before. much more intuitive, visually it's better and it also seems to run everything faster
