I’ve seen alot of previews and leaks from YouTube so I figured that I wanted to get my hands on Windows 7. I did some hunting for some information on “trying” out Windows 7 without even cracking it or whatnot. I didn’t really find any legal way but what I did find was a few bloggers that stated that P2P torrent engine’s had Windows 7 so they “tried” it.

I’m not going to say where, who, or how I got my version but I found one. Legal or not legal, I didn’t violate Microsoft’s TOS.

So here’s my little review.

• I am going to buy Windows 7 when it comes out, why? Because how the whole interface is. When you first set up Windows 7, it’s faster and easier to set up than Windows Vista, you get this home comfort feeling. It almost feels like it’s a part of you.
• The boot logo is FRIGGIN AWESOME! 4 little colored dots (red, green, blue, & yellow) spin around and meet to make the Windows logo.
• The login page (where you enter your password) is the best ever! Like I said, it’s got this home feeling.
• The desktop interface is the sleekest Windows as ever been!

Now let me talk about the awesome cool little features you’ll be able to use once you got it.

• Having a full screen can sometimes be annoying. Windows 7 “kinda” fixes that. Move the mouse to the title-bar, left-click, drag down. It “Restores down) right there.
• Don’t feel like aiming your mouse to the “Maximize” button once you got a small window? Left-click the title-bar and drag the window to the very top of the screen and let go of the mouse. It’ll maximize :)
• Boring wallpaper? The wallpapers can change! Like a slideshow!

All in all, Microsoft really went all out on 7. Though I could have picked a different name like Windows Solar or Windows Essence something other than a number. I get why it’s called Windows 7 as it is the 7th major release of Windows but why “7”?

Ah, anywho. There’s my little review on Windows 7.

Please note, downloading illegal files of any kind from torrent sites is illegal. If it is free, more likely it has to be paid for. Don’t risk your time and freedom on such insane risks. Also note that the copy I got is a standard copy that has no cracked time. It expires within 30 days.
