Windows 7 released: Your guide, from shop to shut-down
After what seems like a remarkably problem-free developmental journey, Microsoft today released Windows 7, which replaces Windows Vista entirely.
Over the last year we've tested the OS to death. We've guided readers through minefields of questions. We published questionable photos of Rory Reid. But best of all we built the most comprehensive archive of tests, benchmarks, how-tos and FAQs you'll find anywhere for UK PC buyers. Everything a new Windows 7 user needs to know is right here.
