Just as long as there is no fighting in the War Room.

How are you finding it? I've got a Beta key (free license until next summer or something, great deal) and used it for a month or two but went back to Vista after having a few driver problems.

Definitely gonna buy a disc when it's released next week, though. It seems a lot less bloated.

I signed up to host a launch party, so they sent out a box with the software and party favors and whatnot. I really wish I had a system capable of handling the 64-bit version (as I got both).

I always say that I'm one of the few that likes Vista, but for those who didn't like Vista, they might not like this much more. It's a solid OS, but they might not like the new taskbar. Personally, I love it, it's got some oldies from Vista that I liked along with some new things.

I might just have to write a review about it.

Is that 64bit disc going spare?

I like Vista myself - the service packs really sorted it out - but W7 just feels a wee bit cleaner, if you know what I mean (not guaranteeing that I actually do, though). Got the 64bit Beta and it's fine apart from a couple of drivers - Vista64 drivers usually work but a few companies aren't releasing dedicated W7 ones until launch.

Sorry, I've only got one key. I'm glad I got this for free, but even if I hadn't have, I wouldn't feel bad in shelling out the money for the upgrade.

It's that time of year again, folks!

True, it's a fair bit cheaper than Vista was over here. Once Windowblinds 7 gets out of Beta I'll probably make the jump.

Suspect's Reviews

I could post my last few and you can see the evolution of my desktop image...Though now I realize I've changed it 4 times since school started... And that's a lot of pictures... But here they are anyway, in chronological order, in a highly self-indulgent post. I'm blaming it on the cream-filled doughnut and chocolate milk I just consumed.
