Thank you, Matt.
I figured it would have to be the "behind the scenes" processes where improvements were found. The Microsoft videos did not address any of these. It just touted the neat things you could do with it as a simple 13 year old end user wouyld enjoy.

Matt, on the topic of performance, I do not use my recording desktop for internet use. What types of experiences in performance, apart from internet use, did you notice different coming from Vista to 7? Or, is it a value to the gamer? It is my thought that the trend of these performance improvements and its stability is primarily directed to those who do gaming and other processor intensive activities. Would that assumption be correct in this case?
