Joson, developer and platform evangelist of Microsoft Philippines.

Windows 7 as promised by Microsoft Engineers to be faster, more reliable and more compatible with more devices and applications which compared to the previous version, Windows Vista which received heavy criticism from its users for its slowness, incompatibility with many hardware devices and for hogging system resources. I do agree with that.
