Mitchell Ashley writes why Microsoft is already showing successes with its Windows 7 beta.

“Nobody expected Windows 7 to be the stable beta version that it was. I think we were all a little surprised. I’ve used it on my laptop as my fulltime OS with relatively few issues, certainly nothing that prevented me from using Windows 7 productively. Performance of Windows 7 was especially impressive, including start up, sleep and shutdown times. Maybe expectations for Windows 7 were low because of Vista, but mine where high for me to believe Windows 7 could not only overcome the problems of Vista, but also really succeed as the next Microsoft desktop OS.”
