Click through to see seven new and enhanced security features that will make a real difference in the new Microsoft OS.

While no operating system is perfect, Microsoft appears to have made significant security improvements with the release of Windows 7. This slideshow complements a post in my blog at IT Business Edge about the seven features I think will have the most impact on security in the newest version of Windows.

Esto va para los linuxeros, que siempre critican a Windows, si lo hacen, es porque SABEN Y RECONOCEN que a linux le fatan años luz para alcanzar a Windows. Win 7 es un Señor Sistema Operativo, hay que sacarse el sombrero.

Sat, 2010-02-06 08:03 — WHY??? (not verified)
What is happening to this world i dont understand you people in microsft think that you're making windows better but ur making it worse since i got windows vista i've been cursing the the speed and the million glitches the only good thing in vista was the serach system but then you people made Windows 7 and i bought it and there i've been cursing the idiotic security system that just makes the speed of windows 7 to nothing!! and they ruined the serach system can't you understand that that you should leave things at windows xp profensional that was the best windows this is my complaint.

what do you think about moving to Linux ?
Thu, 2010-02-04 13:30 — dejenatoata (not verified)
I think that moving to Linux, any version, is most comfortable for us than moving from one version of windo(w)s to another. Is more usuable and you don't need licence... is very easy to say "our new version of Windows is most...most... and... most ... than old version" but all versions give you blue screens and need to be reinstalled at 2-3 month if your home computer is used every day more than 3-4 hours, and your curiosity is much more than others... if you try install and uninstall more applications you can find you windows very old, even if you windows is The New Windows 7.
