Suddenly we are hearing of this “God Mode” in Windows 7. We want to believe… believe in anything good about Windows 7. And Windows 7 has… gasp… a GodMode! I'm sorry to spoil the party but the so-called Windows 7 GodMode is nothing but a Master Control Panel and worked in Windows Vista too.
Woah, you should see Digg, Twitter and most of the social networking sites… going ballistic about the Windows 7 GodMode… talking as though it had just made a divine appearance!
The “God Mode” worked in Windows Vista too. It was posted in Neowin in 2008 and the credit for it afaik goes to my MVP colleague & TWCF Mod Ramesh Kumar, who when he did not have a blog then, had posted about it, way back on WinVistaClub, (post now moved here) along with a FIX if things went wrong in Vista x64.
But sure, one must credit whoever coined the term GodMode, it definitely catches your attention and sounds much better than… yawn… Master Control Panel.
But hey, who cares, lets celebrate and spread the word… Windows 7 has a “new secret” God Mode!
