It's been a while since I last wrote here, but now I have some new things I noticed and would like to share.
At the moment I am testing the Beta of Windows 7 and it's great so far... At least if you remember that it's a beta. It's stable, fast and very goodlooking.
I really like the new taskbar. It takes a few days to get used to, but then it's really practical.
maybe people would complain that it's not clear which programs are active, but I think it's clear...
A program that has been started is style a little more like a button.
In the picture to the left, the left and right program (Visio and Notepad) haven't been started yet, but the middle one (Project) has...
You can also see if a program has been started multiple times by the way the program is presented. There will be a double line to the right of the icon, like in the picture to the right. Here you'll see that Internet Explorer has been opened multiple times.
Another neat addition to W7 is, that there is now a builtin screenshot tool called the "Snipping tool"
Just a few of the many changes in Windows 7.
I also noticed a little problem. At our office we use several static routes as a temporary measure for reaching certain network locations. When I installed W7 I felt bold and did an upgrade, amazingly it went without problems... well almost... after the reinstallation the static routes were still there, but they didn't work anymore.
The resolution was simple, delete the routes and recreate them...
