Because I work at Waggener Edstrom Worldwide (Microsoft’s main public relations agency), I’ve been hearing the buzz about Windows 7 for quite some time. I have to say that I’m pretty excited.
It promises to be a trimmed down, more nimble experience than Windows Vista. I sure hope it delivers.
I was working at a newspaper in Palm Springs, Calif., when I went through the upgrade to Vista on my work PC. The newspaper wasn’t the most up-to-date with technology and had several very old PCs with only 256 RAM (including mine).
The day after the IT guys installed Windows Vista on my machine, I couldn’t get any work done. My upgraded machine took more than 15 minutes to boot up and I couldn’t run more than two or three tasks at a time.
Luckily, I was first in line for a RAM upgrade.
I don’t think this type of scenario will take place with Windows 7. I’m really looking forward to the simpler graphic interface that uses less of my PC’s resources.
I hope Waggener Edstrom’s IT department decides to upgrade to Windows 7 soon!
My name is Micheal Foley. I'm an ex-journalist, content editor at Waggener Edstrom, hyperlocal news fan, content strategy n00b, geek wannabe, libertarian and provocateur. I'm trying to get journalists to look past "how to save journalism institutions" and instead think about "how to save society after journalism institutions are gone." 
I’m pretty much impressed with the stability of Windows 7. It is better than windows Vista which hogs my memory and cpu.:..
