Just a very quick thank you to everyone who came out to the Windows 7 party. It was a huge success. We got crazy and discussed solitaire, shaking windows, the super bar, and crazy WiFi tricks.
Special thanks to Matt Kettlewell for taking this pic to document the madness that was the Windows 7 party of 2009!

I have been using Windows 7 for a few days. So far, I am pleasantly surprised at how snappy it is and how much Microsoft has cleaned up the interface. It is in most ways an improvement, even over Windows XP.
While I enjoy Windows 7, I have to wonder what Microsoft was thinking with the new character wallpapers. I will admit that I don’t hate them – I am a fan of Salvador Dali and similar artists that create disturbing artwork with great detail. Essentially, this is what you get with the new Windows 7 character wallpapers.
Some of the wallpapers seem to be a little Yellow Submarine inspired, others have a Powerpuff Girl’s appearance while a few are seem like they were inspired by nightmares of a 4-year-old after watching a Tim Burton marathon with a Wizard of Oz chaser.

If ever there was a photo begging to be photo-shopped! It is rare to get both the Emperor and her apprentice in the same shot.
