LABS GALLERY: Windows 7 Provides Plenty of Improvements: “Microsoft’s Windows 7 recently reached the release-to-manufacture milestone, the last step before the new operating system’s official Oct. 22 launch. Delivering a good amount of eye candy, a number of user enhancements, a few interesting security additions (but only for the customers at the high end) and a decent performance boost, Windows 7 is certainly capable. But is it a compelling upgrade? Check out eWEEK Labs’ walk through Windows 7.”

From Paul Thurrott’s SuperSite for Windows…

Paul Thurrott’s SuperSite for Windows: Windows Live Movie Maker Review: “When Microsoft launched the ‘wave 3’ version of its Windows Live Essentials suite back in January (see my review), one big piece of the puzzle was missing: Windows Live Movie Maker, a major reworking of the underappreciated but excellent Windows Movie Maker application from Windows XP days (see my review of Movie Maker 2), was still woefully incomplete and in beta form.”

From TechRepublic…

The end is near for Windows XP: what are you going to do? | Microsoft Windows | TechRepublic.com: “After years of tweaking, patching, and otherwise cajoling the Microsoft Windows XP operating system, many administrators and users feel comfortable with their current systems. But now the writing is on the wall, and the dominance of Windows XP in the marketplace is slowly but surely being squeezed by Windows Vista, Linux, Mac OS X, and eventually Windows 7.”
