Of installing Windows 7 ... in a snap !

This week, I had a call for a person with a laptop running Vista, complaining of errors and slow response time.

I first removed openoffice (he had office 2007 installed) , two or three Internet brower, a lot of downloaded tools... His toshiba was still slow. I then decided to clean registry and HD (thanks to ccleaner) then decided to defrag and to restart. The computer was still so slow and messy that I decided to update all drivers from Toshiba support website to the last Vista release...Nothing better !

I then suggested Seven and he agreed , despite the additionnal cost : a purchase scandal , he said... I agreed , but he did not want to switch to Ubuntu.

So Yesterday it was time to move to MS Windows Seven. I decided to format c: drive and start from scratch as I usually do on reinstalling... after all needed backups of course.

What a shock for me : the installation including harddrive format in less than an hour AND WITHOUT ANY ADDITIONNAL DRIVER TO INSTALL !!! I had previously downloaded all wifi and ethernet drivers for this laptop and never used it !
Sound = ok , Screen = ok, wifi enabled = ok, wireless Mouse and keyboard = ok
no error or question in the tab to manage drivers !



Only two restart !



For the very first time of my IT experience in twenty years :

Thank you Microsoft ! 

This time, wuth windows Seven, 

it seems to me you've done a great and professionnal job !

PS : If I have enough time , I might spend time to setup a seven desltop for my company and test there all XP programs they're using...
