Windows7 getting popular?

One of the latest operating systems, Windows7 is getting popular throughout the world. Microsoft believes they are able to cover up the tragedy(?) of Windows Vista OS. Windows XP was very popular than any other Windows Operating Systems and this new OS is expected to be popular more than that.

Here are some of the noted features:

• PIN – Keep programs and files handy: pin them to the taskbar or Jump Lists.
• SNAP – Instant arrange two windows exactly side by side.
• HomeGroup – Share files, music—even printers—in just four clicks.
• Play To – Send media from your PC to compatible devices on your home network.
• Windows Touch – Touch your screen to resize a photo or map or to quickly scroll through your files.

Let me go in to some more features I noticed. I am on Windows7 Ultimate.

• Windows7 looks like Windows Vista. Well, it may be because it is using same kernel of Vista. But there are many additions and you will feel yourself faster in performance than Vista or XP. Gadgets are still there.
• I personally felt the setup very simple. But same time I have the information from some website that around 68% problems reported by users regarding this OS is related to installation. Not sure whats wrong.
• Introduction of ribbons (the one you can see in Microsoft Office Applications) in Wordpad and MS Paint. Calculator appearance also really good now.
• Heard there is an improved firewall attached
• Comes with DirectX 11. You know DirectX is the graphics engine behind Windows Operating systems which gives us best experience for user interface.
