Windows "Over the weekend, I put Windows 7 build 7000 on my desktop and Windows 7 build 7057 on my laptop, and went through trying to spot as many changes between the two as I could. Although I go deeper than I did with build 7048, this is still not a comprehensive list. There is almost three months difference between the two builds: the beta was compiled on December 12, 2008, at 2:00pm and the leaked build 7057 was compiled on March 5, 2009, at 8:00pm, so there's a lot of work to cover. This post is about tracking every noticeable visual change; although I do mention some fixes here and there, I'm mainly focusing on tweaks that are "tangible" as opposed to the thousands of bugs that have been fixed."

This was a good article. Many of us will end up using Win7 whether we like to or want to or not, and it is helpful to see how this OS is progressing and addressing all that was broken with Vista. MS has produced at least one good OS in the past (Win NT 2000), and maybe Win7 will be another one - it seems like they are at least trying to move in the right direction. Let's just watch the action and see what shakes out. I look forward to another comprehensive article when the next milestone build is released.
