windows7Microsoft launched its much awaited operating system, Windows 7 on 22nd October, 2009!

The international software giant, which holds 90% of the personal computers, has been receiving nice reviews for its new OS, since the aspects and features of Windows 7 have been made public. This launch is expected to strengthen Microsoft’s presence.

“It’s the first really significant release of Windows in a decade,” analyst Brendan Barnicle of Pacific Crest Securities said Television. “Given the missteps around Vista, people really questioned Microsoft’s relevancy in the technology space. So this is a critical first step for Microsoft regaining that credibility.”

Windows 7 is flaunted to be faster as well as less cluttered and comes with touch-screen features. Windows 7 has been launched three years after the launch of Vista, which is really an irritation for all those who use it.

If you have been looking to switch your operating system then this the time, the full version of Windows 7 Professional is $299, with upgrades going for $199. Windows 7 Ultimate is priced at $319, with the upgrade version at $219. The full version of Windows 7 Home Premium is priced at $199, with an upgrade from Vista or XP costing $119. Copies of Windows 7 will be available in retail stores today, and many PC makers are now offering systems with Microsoft’s new OS preinstalled.
