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...

Encore une Erreur Installation inexpliquée ...

Ce matin je voulais essayer Google Chrome, en remplacement éventuel de Firefox, pour ce que cela pourrait m'apporter dans l'utilisation des services Google. Ma configuration est ultra classique : MS Windows XP-sp3...

Téléchargement sans problème, mais message d'erreur à l'installation:

Ces deux produits phare des deux leader du marché (google et microsoft) désirent consolider leur position de monopole ...

Pour les particuliers, pour les TPE, voir toutes les PME sans service informatique, ce genre de message est inconcevable ! Aucune explication, aucun recours possible... Tant que ce genre d'erreur se produira, le métier de dépanneur informartique, le support informatique , les hotlines... auront de beaux jours devant eux.

Comment faire pour qu'une application s'installe sur tous les environnements standards du marché ?

Quel profondeur donner à un message d'erreur ?
