[OPLINTECH] Anyone got Windows 7?

[JKENZIG]

Boy I would be pretty po'd if Media player corrupted all 5000 of my
MP3's on my home pc that is for sure! Again why I uncheck and don't
allow any info downloaded from the web ever to be put into them.

Anyone who is interested in trying it out should be sure to install this
patch for it, available at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/961367. It
fixes the issue Jim mentioned with Windows Media Player.

I've been using the 64-bit version at home and found it very simple to
install. It detected all my drivers and installed them with the
exception of my Nvidia video card, which was solved with a quick trip to
Windows Update. Probably the quickest single system install I've ever
had to do, and setup was similarly easy. A half hour in total, and very
few prompts so you can just step away while it installs.

It's very smooth and fast on my system, and the UI changes are nice so
far. A nice rundown can be found here:
http://arstechnica.com/articles/paedia/windows-7-beta.ars and this MSDN
blog has some neat less obvious improvements as well:

-7-secrets.aspx

So far it has been stable and played nicely with some previously
installed software I carried over from XP 32-bit. I'm hesitant to try it
at work just yet, in case some major system bug crops up, but overall
it's much improved over XP.
