It was only 2 years since Vista got RTM, now I am getting my hands dirty with Windows 7 already. While build 6803 may not be anywhere near the actual product, it has already shown us some of the (huge) changes that has been made after Vista.

Installation of Windows 7 is almost identical to Vista. First you select the language, agree to the UCLA, select the disk to install Windows 7 and the installation begins.

No detailed walkthrough will be mentioned. I will be posting screenshots follow by screenshots and maybe more screenshots.

And it comes with a simple GUI editor as well, known as the Windows PowerShell Integrated Scripting Environment.
