So what impresses me about Windows 7?  The speed for one.  It is fast.  I loaded IE, FF and Chrome all at the same time and opened multiple tabs of various sites and tried to recreate a common crash scenario I usually almost always experience while working on XP.  It didn’t crash.  It started to lag but nothing crashed.  This wasn’t a good test, since I didn’t have Dreamweaver or Photoshop open but it was still better than I expected.

Microsoft definitely took some UI layout styles from Apple’s Mac OS X.  I wouldn’t be surprised if they even looked at Ubuntu.  Browsing the computer is very user friendly and simple.

All in all, it’s not that bad at all.

First reported on social networking site Twitter, Facebook’s Senior Platform Manager Dave Morin blogged, “Bill Gates just released mosquitos into the audience at TED.”

Gates then waited a minute or so before assuring the audience the freed insects were malaria-free.
