Artificial ignorance

I’ve been pleasantly surprised and impressed by how the blogerati has been praising Windows 7:

• Windows 7 Beta takes another crown, besting Vista in SSD performance: “… Windows 7 looks to have a slight edge over Vista pretty much across the board, with better speed, access time and lower CPU usage — not bad for a beta … ”
• Windows 7 on the MSI Wind Netbook: First Impressions: “… All in all: good signs that show promise. After continued use I’ll have more to say”
• Windows 7 ‘Incredibly Stable,’ Intel Expert Says: “… I have now been using the Windows Server 2008 R2 beta and Windows 7 beta builds for some time and have found them to be incredibly stable”
• “What You Think of Windows 7”

Sarah Perez pointed out on Twitter that even a couple of Mac lovers had commented on how they didn’t dislike Windows 7 ;)

• Oh My God, I Actually Like Windows 7 (So Far): “… I honestly would not mind using Windows 7 on a daily basis, which is something I haven’t been able to say about a Microsoft OS since when the early days of Windows XP”
• Windows 7 on the HP 2710p:  “… Let me say at the outset that the installation and the amazing experience I have had with Windows 7 had me seriously thinking if I should stay with Mac OS X.”

One of my biggest peeves with prior versions of Windows has been how long it used to take the machine to wake up from sleep. Here’s my favorite featurette, check out this Qik video I shot of my Lenovo T60P running Windows 7 waking up from sleep:

Now that just blows my mind.
