It might be trimmed down from what they initially promised....but still it has
quite a few new features. Apart from the features what I like most so far is
that everything is much better organised. I hardly use software. Email, Browser,
ssh client, ultraedit, zend encoder, office and that's about it. Then I get tons
of documents from clients which is the main reason why I use windows on my
normal workstation. so I don't have to convert all that shit to be able to
open it on a unix box.
Anyway if you say it hardly isn't different than XP than I say you're wrong.
the explorer for browsing your hdd's is a LOT better than on XP to name just
1. There's additional network stuff that is defenitely not in XP
apart from the eyecandy which indeed looks slick it also has a function.
transparant windows are usefull you can overlay windows and still be able
to see which is what instead of clicking them all to see which one you were
looking for, yeah, yeah alt + tab works aswell.....anyway obviously what you
like is personal so I'm not trying to convince people to install it.
I probably wouldn't if I hadn't a new laptop without an OS so I that was an
easy opportunity to just give it a try. All I'm saying is I like what I see and
so far it seems to work pretty well.
So for now I won't bother installing XP over it unless I run into serious issues
which for me means that it's more usefull than XP else I would have
reinstalled back to XP without a shadow of a doubt
I just shared my experience and say if you think about it giving it a go
then I would say go for it as it's pretty decent and works just fine.
I didn't have any compatibility issues with software either. Everything I use
installed and runs without any problem
If you don't feel like trying then don't I'm not trying to convert anyone.
