Windows 7.. is great ?!

without comments

Well I have to admit; I am not a big fan of Windows; ever since 2006 when we got out first Mac; and 2 more later – we are in heaven. But a recent Apple surge into darkness; has prompted me to update my Windows PC to Windows 7 – and I have been happily using it for about 3 months now.

Windows 7 really is a great operating system; and I have been enjoying its features. I have my super kick ass LED monitor; and life is great.

Last night however; that changed – after a big project moving 140 GB of pictures and videos of the family to Picasa 3 from iPhoto — something happened; I contracted a Trojan; actually many. Yep, Windows 7 then crashed and burned; and wouldn’t boot up properly. Angry; feelings returned of why I went to Apple in the first place.

However I thought; maybe things have changed.

And; for this instance; they did. I booted up in safe mode; which Win 7 wouldn’t allow me to do; but instead went into a recovery mode insisting that it will fix everything. I’m like ‘yeah right’ – 10 minutes later; Im booted up; and the machine isn’t freezing; the virus is not loading into memory. Holy **** ! I installed AVG Anti Virus (which I should have done in the first place; but Im used to Apple Mac now) – and my machine is as good as new.

So Kudos to you Microsoft; maybe you are becoming the new Apple ?!
