So yesterday I finally made the upgrade to Windows 7. It took a very long time, even though it could have taken us not long at all. But that’s besides the point. Windows 7 looks great and, from what I can tell, isn’t any slower than XP was for me. It seems pretty equal, only with the great visual differences. I’m actually writing this using Windows Live Writer or something, which lets me type the blog posts without having to deal with WordPress directly. I can just open, type, and publish. I’ve noticed it for XP, but I never thought to try it out. I’m glad I’m using it now.

Probably my favorite tool that I see in Windows 7 (and apparently Vista has it, too) is the Snipping Tool, which not only allows me to take screenshots, but actually select which part of the screen I take the shot of. Here’s a picture I took using it. It’s just the taskbar at the bottom of the screen.

I’m also including the image to test out how well Writer works with images and whatnot.

Later on today I’m going over to Lindsay’s house, but until then I have to catch up and re-install a bunch of programs I had back when I used XP.
