Good luck getting me to download that bloatware Toolbar Crapcast!

Very good article.

I downloaded the DExpose app, simply because I like how the MAC handles open windows better then Vista. I like the program, I just wish the author would've put a little more work into the Font options. Thanks for the article!

----- Nevermind the font comment, there's loads of options to customize the view.

I like how Google is just DOMINATING everything around them.

I finished installing it last night as a dual-boot with Vista. W7 works flawlessly, and I see no reason to not use it as a primary OS. The only problems that I've encountered are Application Compatability.(Obviously). For example, Daemon Tools doesn't run for me. I saved the file to my desktop, unblocked it, and set W7 to use it in compatability mode for windows Vista, and XP, but no avail. It states that the system needs to re-boot in order to install. That's fine, I'll re-start my computer, but then when my computer boots and Daemon starts again, Daemon says that it needs to re-start to install, while I just did! This sort of incompatability with Applications does plague W7, but it's not W7's fault, developers aren't making a W7 compatible App because the OS is still in Pre-Beta. But there are alternatives!

1.Daemon Tools - Won't install correctly. Instead I recommend using [u]PowerISO[/u], along with it's MagicDisk app to mount ISO images in W7.

The only other compatible App that I've been able to install due to time availability is :

1.CCleaner - Works perfectly in W7 6801 (32-Bit) with no compatability mode.

 I will continue to install other Apps and see if they install correctly or not. I'm very interested to see if some Adobe CS3 apps will install correctly. If so I'll use W7 as my primary OS.

All in all I'm very pleased for W7. I can't wait for the public release next month, it's going to kick so much more ass then 6801+ did.

I still disabled UAC because I know when I'm insalling something that I myself want to install. I don't need an echo from W7. The UAC options are very much better then the simple disable or enable UAC in Vista. Now there is a slider that basically measures the level of Pop-Up alerts and security.

Internet Explorer 8 is significantly faster then IE7. Pages seem to load instantly, something that IE7 was struggling to do.

I like the new Defrag tool in W7, it tells you the percent of fragmentation so you can decide whether or not to defrag.

I also noticed that when using W7 my computer is significantly quieter. With Vista my hard drive will constantly be thrashing because of the Index, or in the event of just regulating system processes. With W7 my hard drive is very very quiet.

I'm happy to see what a success W7 is. I think I may become a fan of Microsoft again :)

Anyone that has used Windows 7 6801+ knows that is it [u]not[/u] like vista at all.(Performance wise). The difference between Vista and Windows 7 is that with Windows 7, as soon as you see your desktop you can start opening applications and they will open in 2-3 seconds. Not like Vista where even when you see your desktop you can't open any apps and expect it to be fast, because your hard drive is thrashing still taking care of the start-up services. Windows 7 also uses less system resources, my W7 installation has on average less then 30 processes, with a total amount of RAM as less then 500MB. Compare that to the 55 processes in Vista with a total of 900MB.And I tweaked Vista. Making a comparison between Vista and W7 is a lost arguement because W7 has a better handle on processes, and manages tasks a hell of a lot better then Vista. So if this turd still wants to challenge the public's view of the Beta, and not wait for the final release, then what's the use of putting up a fight? Is he running W7 on a Win98 computer or what?

The Pirate Bay goes down, they apparently have servers worldwide and even inside countries that despise the U.S. I doubt the U.S government is going to get involved in a political P2P issue.

That Microsoft reimburses everyone that bought a copy of the Beta OS Vista.

Will use Opera over any other browser anyday, regardless of their market share, or what anyone else thinks is better.

You bought and downloaded many, many albums from their service. That means that you'll be spending a long time burning the albums to a CD then ripping them into your computer again. Unless you've already done that already. Really, who downloads songs and only hears them when they're on their computer??. For people like me who only bought a few, it still shouldn't be an issue. I bought 2 albums 1 1/2 years ago from this service for about 20$ and as soon as I downloaded the songs, I immediately burned them to a CD and ripped them back into my computer so I wouldn't have any DRM issues.  I still have the songs in my computer and in a physical CD format. Kudos for Wal-Mart for keeping their clients informed. Other services wouldn't give a $#1T.
