Ran the Beta for Win 7, very happy with it. No support for my sound card yet...not surprising, seeing it's still an RC. In fact, I have a game server running on the Beta now, it's stable and reliable, and really speeds up my old system over XP, but then again, I'm using the 64 bit version of it versus the 32 bit XP.

I installed Win 7 32 bit on my laptop, and would have kept it there if there had been support for the ATI 9000 IGP video subsystem, but not even Vista has support for that...planned obsolescence, I guess...so I took it off. If it hadn't been for that drawback, not an issue of Win 7, but of Toshiba and other laptop manufacturers, I would have Win 7 on there.

Win 7 will be going on a second partition on this computer as well, when I have the time to do it. This week has been a lot hectic for me, and we'll be looking for the driver updates as they come out. We're already seeing beta drivers for a lot of products out there.

I have Vista 64 Ultimate on this machine, and am very happy with it. Yeah, there are some quirky things, but you get used to them.

Oh yeah, you can turn the UAC OFF in Win 7, so you never see it.

I'm blessed watching God do what He does best. I've had a few rough years, and I'm still not back to where I want to be, but I'm on the way and things are looking far better now than what they were!
