Windows 7 First Impressions

I have used Windows 7 for about 10 hours in total. My first impression was that this was Vista version 2 but after a while I was really impressed by the performance of this Operating System. On the same machine I had Vista and comparing the performance of the 2 was made easier.

It was a breath of fresh air compared to Vista. All the Aero UI changes are very noticeable. Taskbar/Title bar remains transparent when maximized, Flip 3D is 100% faster, Snap to borders, Window shake, Taskbar previews they are all amazingly well done. The side bar was removed for a better gadget-based interface which gives more desktop room.

But the best feature that really made this version of the OS better is the configurable User Access Control (UAC) which was the most tedious thing in an operating system since Windows ME...

All in all, after using Windows 7 for just about 10 hours, I give it my thumbs up and I recommend it to anyone.

FaxSkape now supports Windows 7

It has been a year since my last post. It was a very busy year but now I'm back and I should be posting more frequently.

I'm writing about GoldBolt Software's FaxSkape Fax Server again. Windows 7 is now fully supported by version 6, although only business and ultimate are supported, it really does make sense for a server product. I have personally tested this on Windows 7 and it looks and works great! In addition to Windows 7, Windows 2008, 2003, 2000, Vista and XP are also supported.

GoldBolt Software FaxSkape Fax Server is the all-in-one fax and messaging solution that makes sending and receiving faxes a simpler and cheaper process with a very low cost investment. FaxSkape eliminates all the problems of manual faxing including physically printing documents, walking to the fax machine, waiting for the fax to go through, trying again in case of a busy line etc… All this can now be done from the client machine by just using the email client or the FaxSkape fax client.
