The 22nd of October 2009 marked yet another milestone in Microsoft’s history: launching Windows 7 to the world. While we here in Manila, Philippines still wait for the official launch of Windows 7 on the 7th of November 2009, I was one of the early adopters of the new OS (though I still have to install the retail version to my laptop soon). To summarize things, I am happy with Windows 7!
I hate Windows Vista, actually when I got my HP Mini 2133, a month later I changed my OS to Windows XP dual-booted with Windows 7 Beta (which was later on upgraded to RC). It made my HP Mini 2133 more useful (and faster).
With Windows 7, I got all the guts to be brave and bold enough that I installed the Release Candidate on my newly acquired eMachines laptop.

Try Ubuntu for a change! 😀
Hi Arnold! My desktop at home runs on Ubuntu 😉
Just 2 years old and already a member of Microsoft’s Windows 7 Beta program/victim of vendor lock-in?
It’d be cooler if he were 2 years old and used Ubuntu instead.
