Hello, Windows 7

Windows 7, the newest operating system from Microsoft, has finally launched across the globe. I've written previously about how much I loved the increased stability and faster boot-up and hibernation times, so I shall not belabor those points today.

Still, I can't help but pick out some of the most useful and interesting news pertaining to Windows 7. So do check out the informational, interesting, and downright zany news--and videos--about the operating system everyone loves to hate, below.

First of all though, you really got to check out these couple of hilarious new YouTube videos based on the long-running "I'm a PC, and I'm a Mac" series of ads. Here are two of them, hilarious stuff:
