Star Review: Windows 7 Beta
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Sun 4th Jan 2009 21:47 UTC
Windows Reviewing the first beta of an important release like Windows 7 is never an easy job to do. A confouding factor is that many people have already made up their mind about Windows 7; not because they have tried it, but because it's a Microsoft product, and therefore it sucks. At OSNews we try to judge products by their own merits, not by the parent company that created it. Read on for a set of impressions regarding the Windows 7 beta.

You are not going to believe it, but Windows' most awful dialog - the Safely remove hardware" one - is no longer present in Windows 7. Instead, clicking the USB icon in the system tray triggers a nice, usable pop-up menu where you can select which device to eject. It's mindblowing that it took Microsoft so long to fix this one.


did you ever try to LEFTclick on the icon in win xp?
