I have just installed windows 7, i have not loaded any programs on it yet, but i must say i think they have got off to a good start. 28 prosesses as i kick off is pretty good. I do like the library functions and the fact you can add and remove locations. I was never a fan of the windows search bar so i am glad it has gone or at least hiden if i have just not found it. I am sure i will find things i don't like but very possitive so far. loads in 20 seconds from cold boot on a core 2 duo 2.66 with 4gb ram.
