Windows 7 debuts today

In case you've been living in a cave, the big news today is that Windows 7 officially debuts. It's supposedly a vast improvement over the Vista operating system, and it's gotten pretty good early reviews so far.

As always though, I'll wait to hear what you BaltTechies think of it before making any final judgments.

Will you be rushing out to buy it/download it? Lemme know.....

Oh, and if you're a Windows Fan Boy with some time to kill today, Ina Fried will be live-blogging a Microsoft event where Steve Ballmer will introduce the new OS.

I've been fairly happy with both the RC and final 64-bit versions. It's snappy and I've only encountered one or two significant annoyances (mostly due to using older hardware).
