Microsoft keeps the Windows 7 promises coming | |

Microsoft is promising the fundamentals of Windows 7 will be a noticeable improvement over Vista. The firm has spoken of longer battery life, quicker start-up and fewer crashes. The comments came at the firm’s Hardware Engineering Conference, the second event at which officials talked publicly about the new system. Unlike last week’s announcements about new features at the Professional Developers Conference, this week’s push (logically enough given the setting) concentrated on the basics of how the system runs from day to day. My colleague Justin Montgomery has written about the information Microsoft gave about its work to reduce compatibility issues between Vista and Windows 7 so that existing hardware drivers should carry over smoothly. It also hopes that firms are used to the major security changes brought in by Vista; there shouldn’t be such a major stumbling block in the transition to Windows 7. | ||
