Detailed review
Feeling more thought out and just more of an update than VIsta ever was, Windows 7 is finally an OS you can feel proud to run. It seems stable as hell and there's some awesome features that Microsoft have finally listened to users about ... like listing greatest to least in the task manager.

The cool behind the scenes features also rock, like the shake to minimize other windows feature, or drag to the top to maximise.

With this being 2009, Microsoft have also made it quite a bit easier doing the whole online thing as well as connecting your home network.

For the connected fans, they've also given Media Centre a coat of paint and added he newly launched MS video product as another channel.

Apple fans can keep their one button mouse and glossy OS, this is finally an OS I can be proud of.
