Review by David Wilson

This review is based on release candidate 2 (RC2). Can I say anything but Kudos? The new interface is intuitive to the max. It’s a big step above former versions of Windows and even a cut above Macs. Stability is, well, I can’t get it to crash. Compatibility is phenomenal. DOS, Win 3.1 and Win9x programs run without a problem (remember, this is based on the NT file system and kernel, not the DOS-based file system and kernel). This is what Windows was meant to be when version 1.0 came out. OK, it took 9 years to get it to this level but, now that it’s where it’s meant to be, there is no reason not to get it if your computer will run it. Most people will be satisfied with the home version. If you have a business or are a real computer geek, then you may want the Pro version. Installation is a snap (takes about an hour) and, if you decide that it’s not for you, it uninstalls easily.nFor me there’s no going back. I think that you’ll feel the same way once you try it.
