A deep dive into Windows 7 (build 6801) | |

Ed Bott: Microsoft took the wraps off Windows 7 for the first time at the Professional Developers Conference in Los Angeles three weeks ago. That public unveiling and the widespread availability of a pre-beta release of the Windows 7 code (build 6801) inspired a slew of first looks (including mine). But after that initial flurry of activity, most of the interest quickly subsided. Since returning from PDC, I’ve been installing and using Windows 7 on a variety of hardware platforms (eight distinct desktop and portable systems so far). My immediate goal is to learn as much as possible so I can begin writing Windows 7 Inside Out. And there’s plenty to learn. The deeper I dive into Windows 7, the more I discover, including subtle changes and tweaks that aren’t obvious in a first look. In this post and its accompanying image gallery, I’ll share some of those details with you. |

| This is an insightful review of Windows 7 with clear descriptions of some of the evolution from Vista. His comment that imaging should be in all versions is right on the money. Every user deserves to make drive images. How many cars don't come with spare tires and jacks? Why should the Home versions of Windows not have image backup options included? |
