I managed to get an eye infection that left my eyes bloodshot and so goddam itchy that it was driving me crazy. I also caught a cold at the same time, so I ended up sick at home today. “Why, that’s a perfect time to install Windows 7”, I thought to myself. And so I did exactly that.

I have been enduring Vista for over a year now and I honestly don’t know why I bothered with it for so long. It made any task on my home PC into a long drawn-out battle. Thankfully Michelle had a macbook that I could use when I wanted to get something done in a reasonable timeframe.  After using Windows 7 for just one afternoon I already love it. It is the OS that Vista was always meant to be.

The installation was relatively painless, although I had to run a network cable across the house to get internet access so I could download my wireless network card drivers (reminded me of those old CD-ROM drivers that came on a CD). I installed the 64-bit version too, which has been absolutely painless compared to when I tried the same thing on Vista.

So, in summary, two thumbs up! I would even recommend paying for this one ;)
