Windows 7 soon to be released
Microsoft has just confirmed that Windows 7, the new version of it's operating system has been signed off and is due for a consumer release on October 22nd 2009.
This is a follow up to Windows Vista which lets say has had a mixed review since it's release.
Windows 7 has been trialled by Suffolk Online and our verdict is that it is a improvement on Windows Vista whilst not being vastly different. It appears that the system itself is less resource hungry and should therefore run on lower spec machines better and also allows better compatibility with other pieces of hardware.
The main new features are better sharing with other Windows 7 computers and compatiblity with touch screen devices.
