Windows 7 review - Gizmodo.com
Could Windows 7 accomplish everything that's expected of it? Probably not, but it makes a damn good attempt. We've tested the gold master, the final version going out on October 22. Upgrade without trepidation, people. With excitement, even.
Windows 7 is not quite a "Vista service pack." It does share a lot of the core tech, and was clearly designed to fix nearly every bad thing anyone said about Vista. Which ironically puts the demon that it was trying to exorcise at its heart. What that means is....
Windows 7 review - earthweb.com
After nearly eight-years, Windows XP had grown as comfortable as an old car. Just as I’d forgotten about the growing number of dings on my car’s bumper, I’d forgotten how many third-party tools I’d used to prop up Windows XP. After adding CD and DVD burners, search programs, Firefox, three media players and a host of other tools, my Start menu’s three columns reached the far edge of my desktop.
That’s why running Windows 7 for the past seven months brought back the excitement of driving a new car. And for the first time, my once trusted Windows XP began looking like a car that needed much more than a paint job.
Windows 7 review - Engadget
Oh, Windows. You inform and entertain us. You are
inescapable, and your Start menu is full of items relevant
to our productivity. You move us. Sort of. To be honest,
we're not sure what sort of state this fair planet of ours
would be in without the ruggedly functional operating
systems the folks at Redmond have handed to us over the
years, and while Windows Vista might have proved that
Microsoft wasn't invincible, it did nothing to demonstrate
that Windows as an idea -- and for most, a necessity -- was
at all in jeopardy.
Windows 7 arrives on the scene three short years after
Vista, shoring up its predecessor's inadequacies and perhaps
offering a little bit more to chew on. We've been playing
with the OS ever since the beta, along through the release
candidate, and now at last have the final, "release to
manufacturing" (RTM) edition in our grubby paws. Does it
live up to its understandable hype and the implicit
expectations of a major Microsoft release? Let's proceed on
a magical journey to discover the truth for ourselves.
Windows 7 review - Winsupersite.com
What a difference a few years makes. When Windows Vista debuted in late 2006, I was full of questions: Windows Vista was a big, messy Windows release, delayed time and again, and suffering from too many features and too little cohesiveness. This time around, things are clearer. Windows 7 is less ambitious than its predecessor, but also a better product.
It suffers from none of the aimless feature bloat that plagued Vista upon its release, and none of the aimless uncertainty that followed Vista's five-plus years of development. That the public reaction to Windows 7 has also been universally positive--another sharp contrast with Vista--is also gratifying. Windows 7 deserves the accolades, and it's one of the strongest entries in the Windows family of products ever.
Windows 7 review - Techradar.com
Windows 7 is complete. After previews and beta versions
and then the Windows 7 Release Candidate, the Windows 7 team
has decided that Windows 7 is ready to release. It is now on
MSDN and TechNet, and is already with PC makers.
Windows Technical Beta Program members will be getting their
free Windows 7 in the next few days.
This isn't the exact version of Windows 7 Ultimate that
you'll get on a new PC, because there are still content
deals for Media Center to lock down and it doesn't have the
Windows 7 web browser ballot screen that users in Europe are
likely to see when they set up a Windows 7 PC (new or
upgraded).
Windows 7 review - CNET.com
Windows 7 is more than Vista done right, but you can't deny that it's based on Microsoft's embattled operating system. Despite improvements made over two service packs, users never took to Windows Vista.
Although the Windows 7 release candidate is still available for consumers to try out, the final version of Windows 7 aims to fix both perceived and real flaws from its predecessor. The appeal of the new interface is undeniable, and should compete well against Apple's OS X, but even with modern features like native touch-screen support does Windows 7 actually best XP?

Windows 7 review - Maximumpc.com
For the Windows faithful, it’s been a tough eight years. With the launch of Windows XP in 2001, we thought we were poised on a brink of a new world of NT-based goodness—but two years and uncountable exploits later, the future of Windows was grim. Facing a never-ending torrent of new ‘sploits, worms, and trojans, Microsoft fired back with the single greatest operating system update of all time—Service Pack 2. In the single fell swoop of SP2, Windows XP went from Swiss cheese to secure, and once again we were poised to enter the promised land with… (wait for it)… Vista.
Of course, we all know how Vista turned out. Haunted by poor performance in everything from games to disk access to networking, Vista is widely considered to be Microsoft’s biggest failure.
Windows 7 review - Digitaltrends.com
It’s finally here. Nearly three years after Microsoft unleashed Windows Vista unto the world, crippling otherwise competent computers with obscene system requirements and feature bloat, Microsoft has returned for redemption with Windows 7, otherwise known as “what Vista should have been.”
Though not as revolutionary in appearance as its predecessor, Microsoft has promised a slew of long-awaited refinements, including better performance, a powerful universal search, and better driver and hardware compatibility. We popped our freshly minted RTM copy of Windows 7 into the favorite office testbed – HP’s Firebird – and put the new OS through its paces to see whether Redmond can deliver on its promises when Windows 7 hits the streets on October 22.
