Review

General

• Merge very small paragraphs to others.
• Add sources to many unsourced statements.

Features

• Many references problems. More references are needed for various unsourced statements. 1 example is: "Recommendations for Windows 7 is to be on Windows Vista (Longhorn) before upgrading to any version of Windows 7, and to have 16GB on the hard drive.", etc.

Development

• Windows 7 shouldn't be in italics

Reception

• mostly → generally
• "The New York Times,[98] USA Today,[99] The Wall Street Journal,[100] and The Telegraph[101] also gave Windows 7 favorable reviews.". Should be expanded upon. What did that say? Think of it?

Editions

• "$" Canadian dollars? U.S. dollars? Which?
• Clarify that "£" is UK pounds
• Processor limits is a little small.

References

• TBA. More to come a little bit later.

External links

• Microsoft Windows 7 → Windows 7
• Categories below should be sorted in alphabetical order

Most issues are now listed above. TBrandley 16:15, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

In general, it seems like this article doesn't stand on it's own. While there were only very minor changes from Vista to Win 7, the parts of this article covering the functionality, and architecture doesn't seem to cover almost any aspect other than maybe some of the bulletpoints on microsoft's Windows 7 cover page. What is it's networking like? It's security? It's storage? It's user interface, it's home and corporate networking features, printing, etc. As it is, it barely seems to cover a microsoft press release on "win 7 selling points".Bstone1 (talk) 10:30, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

• There don't appear to have been any corrective edits in response to the review, and it has been over four weeks. It is probably time to consider closing the review. BlueMoonset (talk) 23:31, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
