Es gibt derzeit viele Meinungen zu Windows 7. Nun, das gab´s auch schon beim Vorgänger… allerdings nicht so viele ungeteilt positive ;-)

Dale Vile, Freeform Dynamics

A combination of the economic downturn and lack of appetite for Vista means that many have deferred desktop upgrade activity over the past year or two.  If the stories of economic green shoots and the virtues of Windows 7 are to be believed, however, we are likely to see desktop modernisation coming into focus again as we look forward.

What Windows 7 Means to Microsoft

Michael Silver, Gartner

The initial feedback on Windows 7 has been excellent.  The OS feels solid and performance is significantly improved.  It is even winning some fans from the Apple Mac OS fan base, although there are few fan bases that are as vocal and loyal as Apple’s.  Feedback from clients indicates that their preparations to deploy Windows 7 are already under way and we expect the new OS to be an extremely successful product.
