Windows 7 is blazing fast!

So I’ve been playing around with 7 for exactly a week now since the VLK version reached me last Friday and I must say I am thoroughly impressed with how refined the operating system is. So far, I’ve had very little issues regarding compatibility, security, etc. By the way, Windows 7 is FAST – even on my 2 year old laptop.

Internet Explorer 8 is also FAST.
