No, not a blog post about Windows 7. Rather, a blog post from Windows 7 and more specifically Windows Live Writer running on Windows 7. I’ve always thought that Live Writer is a nice, easy way to compose blog posts. I especially like how it “previews” the post as you’re composing it—right now I’m staring at the green background of my blog as I type this.
But, I’m still at a loss as to how to edit previous posts or if that functionality is even available. I’d think that any well-thought-out blog publishing app would make a feature as essential as the editing of past posts integral to the interface but as I scan the pleasant-looking toolbars and sidebars of Live Writer I don’t see any apparent way to do this. While composing new posts is fun (and editing old posts should be kept to a minimum), I’d still like the ability to make tweaks here and there.
Besides my qualms about Live Writer, I’ve found my experience with Windows 7 thus far to be just fine. It’s faster and smoother than Vista and more robust and modern than XP (plus who wants to use such an ancient operating system). I’m still an OS X guy but 7 looks like it’ll present a reasonable alternative for a lot of folks.
