Windows 7 score card

March 13th, 2009 · No Comments

Speech Recognition worked really well right off the bat, however I need to be fair and repeat the test on Vista using the same equipment in order to see if the engine has improved or just the features. I have not gone too deep into the new features. 

One thing that I noticed right away is the fact that it fully recognized and installed the drivers for my printer, Vista was able to put in half of the drivers (a month ago), but was missing the key drivers, the ones to print and the one to scan. I am going to plug the printer in to my new Vista build and see if it can add the printer without me having to challenge myself by going to the Epson website, which sucks big time!!! Finding the right driver for your printer, and there are a lot of drivers from way too many options to choose from. I cannot believe that one series with several subseries all require different drivers. Blows me away. 

Windows 7 also picked up my voice recorder just like Vista. I have had no driver issues.

WordPad looks really nice too. I will go more into Windows 7 before I reformat and put my long overdue server on it. I almost want to get a new harddrive just because I am enjoying Windows 7 so much. Unfortunently I need my two Vista machines and cannot turn one of them over to a beta operatings system like I did with Vista. Vista in beta was still better than XP, and as always anyone that wants to have an intelligant discussion with me on why Vista is the better operating system (7 not included) let me know.

I also want to note, OSX failed miserably when trying to install my printer, getting drivers for it was more of a nightmear than normal.
