Windows 7

Well, have been using Windows 7 on and off for some time now and it's finally available in most places. I thought I would post a short summary of my experience with the product. Overall an amazing leap over Vista in every category. Installation is improved, boot time is faster and for the most compatibility in the beta was on par with Vista SP2. I have noticed a couple of issues though. One, I have a Creative X-Fi and a Logitech 5.1 surround sound system. After installing Win7 and the beta drivers, internet audio appeared not to work. I found this was only the case when I had the Matrix Surround option for the speakers turned on. It might be conflicting with the drivers, but I found it rather odd. The other problem I had was in terms of using my really old crappy MP3 player with the standard explorer view drag drop system that had worked so well. It simply fails to recognize the device properly. It's not a huge deal as I no longer use that as my main MP3, but I always like to keep it as a backup. Those are really it. It's fast it looks nice and most importantly, it games nice. I have not had the luxury of testing it's multi-touch capabilities, but I hope to do so in the future.
