WINDOWS 7 REVIEW
Windows 7 gets the basics right. Here's what you need to know
about the new OS.
Harry McCracken, PC World
Monday, October 19, 2009 2:00 pm
What if a new version of Windows didn't try to dazzle
you? What if, instead, it tried to disappear except when you
needed it? Such an operating system would dispense with glitzy
effects in favor of low-key, useful new features. Rather than
pelting you with alerts, warnings, and requests, it would try to
stay out of your face. And if any bundled applications weren't
essential, it would dump 'em.

It's not a what-if scenario. Windows 7, set to arrive on
new PCs and as a shrinkwrapped upgrade on October 22, has a
minimalist feel and attempts to fix annoyances old and new. In
contrast, Windows Vista offered a flashy new interface, but its
poor performance, compatibility gotchas, and lack of compelling
features made some folks regret upgrading and others refuse to
leave WindowsXP.

Windows 7 is hardly flawless. Some features feel
unfinished; others won't realize their potential without heavy
lifting by third parties. And some long-standing annoyances
remain intact. But overall, the final shipping version I test-drove
appears to be the worthy successor to Windows XP that Vista
never was.

(Adapted from

De acordo com o texto,

a) alguns usuários se arrependeram depois de fazer o upgrade para o Windows Vista.
b) a vistosa interface do Windows Vista foi a principal razão para que os usuários aderissem a ele.
c) embora o Windows Vista tenha corrigido diversos defeitos do XP, ainda assim foi um fracasso de mercado.
d) embora o Windows 7 corrija diversos problemas do XP e do Windows Vista, acredita-se que certos usuários irão se recusar a abandonar o XP.
e) teme-se que, apesar do excelente desempenho do Windows 7, sua interface minimalista deixe de atrair muitos usuários
